Seems they're letting him out next year |
|
He's behaving himself I hear |
|
Governor Conway says it will be fine |
|
Just as long as he can tow the line |
|
It's the same old story |
|
But it says here, mum you're not to worry |
|
Cos some you lose and some you lose |
|
At this party, he was on his own |
|
All he did was say he'd take her home |
|
But it seems they didn't go straight there |
|
Cos on the porch, she told him, "put your hand here" |
|
It's the same old story |
|
They told her mum she's not to worry |
|
If what she says is so, we'll never let him go! |
|
Never a word could be heard |
|
Not even the sound of a bird |
|
Singing it over again, telling a different story |
|
Never the same as before |
|
See the summer going out by the door |
|
And now that you've paid for those lies |
|
Get another disguise |
|
It's twenty years now since our kid came free |
|
Oh I remember August '53 |
|
But it wasn't quite like they said |
|
With that behind you, you can't plan ahead |
|
Yes it's the same old story |
|
They say you're free, don't worry |
|
What they said's not so, they never let you go! |
|
Never a word could be heard |
|
Not even the sound of a bird |
|
Singing it over again, telling a different story |
|
Never the same as before |
|
See the summer going out by the door |
|
And now that you've paid for those lies |
|
Get another disguise |
