[00:00.00] 作曲 : Hodgson, Smith
[00:09.72]She says that they're nothing but chancers where I come from.
[00:12.62]That she doesn't know how I've survived it without being beaten or killed or worse.
[00:16.74]She says she heard on the news about all those guns they found in that pub,
[00:20.01]and how that gunman was from there, and how she's seen them on that waste ground by the shops drinking cheap cider and swearing at the tarts who walk past.
[00:29.02]And when I tell her I've never even seen a gun, she's says she's connected and could get one.
[00:33.68]But she wouldn't recommend that school I went to for her niece.
[00:37.10]And I don't ask which one because I already know. They tore all the others down.
[00:41.20]But then I just read one of those annoying comedy emails you get at work and nod like I'm listening.
[00:48.72]And when I get off the bus on Bonfire Night the High Street is like a breeched hive.
[00:53.16]I can only tell the difference between the firework smoke and the clouds by which is green and which is purple.
[00:59.14]And there are still pops and flashes in the distance, and dogs barking beside me.
[01:04.01]In the subway the tiles are still twisted and the ceiling still black from the fire last week.
[01:09.56]Even though they've painted the side walls there is still the smell.New smoke mixed with the constant of piss.
[01:15.80]But at the end of the passageway there are huddled shapes crouching on the floor.
[01:19.44]And I know I can't turn back, I know that this is the only way home, so I put my head down and try not to look.
[01:25.64]But as I pass, I can't help but be drawn to a metallic flash.
[01:29.31]A silver claw prizing up the floor tiles. And as my heart drowns out the noise from my headphones I feel hands on me. I feel them grab me and turn me.
[01:38.56]And as I raise my eyes and my hands and prepare for the claw and the smoke and the piss,
[01:43.95]one of them holds a greetings card in front of my face and asks me if I know how to spell appreciate.
[01:49.93]There is a vase of pink flowers and the countryside on the front. It says, "Birthday Greetings."
