| There was five men playing poker, on the Heysham train | |
| Fate was dealing them a cruel hand; | |
| Hugh Callaghan was walking home, through the evening rain | |
| Not knowing what lay in store for him | |
| You'll find traces of nitro on cigarettes and matches | |
| On formica tabletops and on decks of playin' cards; | |
| When forensic found traces on the hands of these six men | |
| The police drove up from Birmingham | |
| They were hoping the case was closed | |
| Have you ever seen the mugshots that were taken | |
| After forty eight hours in custody? | |
| Battered and bruised, haunted looks upon their faces | |
| The judge accepted they confessed willingly - | |
| Please take another look at what you see | |
| If you tell me my family are being terrorised | |
| Keep me awake for six days and nights, confused and terrified; | |
| In the lonely dark of night, I'll swear that black is white - | |
| If you let me just lay down and close my eyes; | |
| I'll sign anything, if you let me close my eyes | |
| Scales of justice, balance up your act - | |
| Am I talking to myself or to the wall? | |
| Hugh Callaghan, Paddy Hill, Gerry Hunter, Johnny Walker | |
| Billy Power, Dick McIlkenny scapegoats all | |
| For sixteen years they've been talking to the wall |
