Blood

  • A kid got stuck on a sliver of silver
    Watched in the street by a gang of builders
    Blood running down into the gutter

    Next kid's caught climbing out the window
    Policeman switched off his Nintendo
    Mom couldn't do anything but stutter

    Now the first kid's laid out on a stretcher
    Red mask scrawled on a hooded sweater
    Stand back for the defribulator

    And the second kid's steady four walls pacing
    He's thinking about the crime and the time he's facing
    Mom just said "I'll see you later"

    And I still love you
    You'll always be my little soldier
    I still love you
    Whatever, whatever, whatever you do

    Gayle stop dead hanging out the laundry
    Reggie's dream with the words "I'm horny"
    Blood drains from my face so quickly

    Mom gets home half an hour later
    Kicks off her shoes to read the paper
    Gayle just sits there looking sickly

    Mum says "Baby, what's the matter?"
    Tears fall as she begins to blabber
    At that moment Daddy walks in

    An atmosphere a knife could cut through
    Mum says "We know what you've been up to"
    "I think you should pack your things, don't you?"

    And I still love you
    Even though you fucked us over
    I still love you
    Whatever, whatever, whatever you do

    So it is, so it was, so it always will be
    So it is, so it was, so it always will be

    I still love you
    Blood is always thicker than water
    I still love you
    Whatever, whatever, whatever you do Writer/s: BEBE WINANS, DEAN PITCHFORD, RHETT LAWRENCE, STANLEY BURRELL
