A kid got stuck on a sliver of silver
|
Watched in the street by a gang of builders
|
Blood running down into the gutter
|
|
Next kid's caught climbing out the window
|
Policeman switched off his Nintendo
|
Mom couldn't do anything but stutter
|
|
Now the first kid's laid out on a stretcher
|
Red mask scrawled on a hooded sweater
|
Stand back for the defribulator
|
|
And the second kid's steady four walls pacing
|
He's thinking about the crime and the time he's facing
|
Mom just said "I'll see you later"
|
|
And I still love you
|
You'll always be my little soldier
|
I still love you
|
Whatever, whatever, whatever you do
|
|
Gayle stop dead hanging out the laundry
|
Reggie's dream with the words "I'm horny"
|
Blood drains from my face so quickly
|
|
Mom gets home half an hour later
|
Kicks off her shoes to read the paper
|
Gayle just sits there looking sickly
|
|
Mum says "Baby, what's the matter?"
|
Tears fall as she begins to blabber
|
At that moment Daddy walks in
|
|
An atmosphere a knife could cut through
|
Mum says "We know what you've been up to"
|
"I think you should pack your things, don't you?"
|
|
And I still love you
|
Even though you fucked us over
|
I still love you
|
Whatever, whatever, whatever you do
|
|
So it is, so it was, so it always will be
|
So it is, so it was, so it always will be
|
|
I still love you
|
Blood is always thicker than water
|
I still love you
|
Whatever, whatever, whatever you do
|
|
