Lyrics

[00:07.25] 1997, Livid Festival
[00:14.29] Me and Sarah my best friend
[00:17.99] Stripy tights and fairy wings
[00:21.94] As safe as safe can be
[00:23.97] We drank the gin we'd snuck in
[00:27.30] Danced to Ben Folds Five
[00:31.05] I turned around to Sarah
[00:34.92] Couldn't see her anywhere
[00:38.73] As safe as safe can be
[00:43.47] Oh Sarah, I didn't mean to let you down
[00:49.60] But you left me on my own, Sarah
[00:54.61] Why didn't you scream?
[00:57.43] I went to all the stages
[01:01.01] And to the St. John's stand
[01:04.70] The man said "You just missed her
[01:07.76] Stay - maybe she'll come back again"
[01:11.32] I sat and watched the crowds
[01:14.06] My father came at midnight
[01:17.82] We searched til half-past four
[01:21.65] I was half hysterical
[01:25.34] My father wasn't sure
[01:28.17] He called for the police
[01:32.57] Oh Sarah, I didn't mean to let you down
[01:38.31] But you left me on my own, Sarah
[01:43.31] Why didn't you scream? Why didn't you shout?
[01:48.49] Sarah, I hate it that I let you down
[01:53.29] But you left me on my own, Sarah
[01:57.98] Why didn't you scream? Why didn't you shout?
[02:04.29]
[02:08.28] Why didn't you shout?
[02:16.49] The next day the sergeant
[02:19.56] Found her blue dress in the creek
[02:23.38] Her parents were so angry
[02:27.20] They put the blame on me
[02:33.19] Then a fortnight later
[02:36.45] Sarah knocked upon their door
[02:40.40] Her mother asked her "Where've you been?"
[02:43.90] And she said
[02:46.64] "I don't know, I don't know, I'm not sure.
[02:59.70] I'm not sure, I can't remember anything at all."
[03:09.28] Oh Sarah, I didn't mean to let you down
[03:14.59] But you left me on my own, Sarah
[03:18.83] Why didn't you scream? Why didn't you shout?
[03:24.13] Sarah, I hate it that I let you down
[03:28.89] But you left me on my own, Sarah
[03:33.90] Why didn't you scream? Why didn't you shout?
