Dagenham Dave |
Dave was from out of town |
Manchester’s likely too |
Had read De Sade to Marx |
More read than me and you |
Scaffolding pays good bread |
It pays for drugs and kicks |
Dave only had one love |
Had no real need for chicks |
Dave was so far ahead |
But now he’s dead |
I’m not going to cry |
I bet he hit that water high |
I guess he lost control |
And welcomed in the night |
It was too much for him |
What were his thoughts that night? |
The River Thames is cold |
It keeps on flowing on But it left Dave alone |
It just kept flowing on There’s city sickness here |
But now he’s dead |
Late night a street in the west of the city |
There was a place there where he lost himself |
Strange feelings did he feel there |
Strange people did he meet there |
Angry sounds did he hear there |
Like the howling of bulls |
