Suicide On Downing St. |
That suicide on Downing Street |
They found him burning in his car |
He paid the price for what we are |
A stroke of luck, a trick of fate |
The life I build, the mess I make |
Too young to retire, too old to live |
This message all he had to give |
Derek Bainbridge did not die in vain |
And I will sing his sad luck story |
Desparation is a warning flame |
Now we stand or fall with Derek Bainbridge |
He came 160 miles |
To wipe away all those smug smiles |
The empty hours dragging by |
His spirit withered up inside |
He felt the man that he could be |
Was only wasted potential |
He went swimming in the deep forbidden sea |
Looking for that extra dimension |
In a selfish blue nation |
It was no personal defeat |
That suicide on Downing Street |
You cannot call us civilized |
As long as one life is denied |
Swinging on a one-way pendulum |
Driving down a dead end highway |
Desparation is a warning flame |
Now we stand or fall |
Do we stand or fall |
