1997 Livid Festival

Me and Sarah my best friend
|
Stripy tights and fairy wings
|
As safe as safe can be
|
|
We drank the gin we'd snuck in
|
Danced to Ben Folds Five
|
I turned around to Sarah
|
Couldn't see her anywhere
|
As safe as safe can be
|
|
Oh Sarah, I didn't mean to let you down
|
But you left me on my own, Sarah
|
Why didn't you scream?
|
|
I went to all the stages
|
And to the St John's stand
|
The man said 'you just missed her
|
Stay - maybe she'll come back again'
|
I sat and watched the crowds
|
|
My father came at midnight
|
We searched 'til half-past four
|
I was half hysterical
|
My father wasn't sure
|
He called for the police
|
|
Oh Sarah, I didn't mean to let you down
|
But you left me on my own, Sarah
|
Why didn't you scream? Why didn't you shout?
|
Sarah, I hate it that I let you down
|
But you left me on my own, Sarah
|
Why didn't you scream? Why didn't you shout?
|
Why didn't you shout?
|
|
The next day the sergeant
|
Found her blue dress in the creek
|
Her parents were so angry
|
They put the blame on me
|
|
Then a fortnight later
|
Sarah knocked upon their door
|
Her mother asked her 'Where've you been?'
|
And she said
|
'I don't know, I don't know, I'm not sure.
|
I'm not sure, I can't remember anything at all.'
|
|
Oh Sarah, I didn't mean to let you down
|
But you left me on my own, Sarah
|
Why didn't you scream? Why didn't you shout?
|
Sarah, I hate it that I let you down
|
But you left me on my own, Sarah
|
Why didn't you scream? Why didn't you shout?
