Glenn Tilbrook - THROUGH THE NET lyrics

rate me

The Judge looked tired he’d heard enough

The police had found her sleeping rough

Wanted for a previous assault

For which she’d not turned up in court

She sat there slouched and pale

His only option to refuse bail

She’s only young but you wouldn’t bet

Against her slipping through the net

Fee fi fo fum when the morning comes it comes and

You can’t hide and you can’t run

Cause it's another day

He never went outside alone

As he was always chaperoned

From party bags to public school

He slowly learnt to bend the rules

His teenage hormones couldn’t take

His parents stifling embrace

A better background you won’t get

But he’s still slipping through the net

Fee fi fo fum when the morning comes it comes and

You can’t hide nor can you run

Cause it's another day

Her parents were acquainted, yes

With the social services

They loved their kids and couldn’t see

They lived their lives chaotically

The youngest girl has surged ahead

She loves to read and fill her head

You just watch her one day I’ll bet

She’ll slip the right way through the net

Fee fi fo fum when the morning comes it comes and

You can’t hide nor can you run

Or look the other way

Nature, nurture, may bless or curse you

Give you love or inflict hurt

Captain Pugwash, Captain Kirk

Sensible or just plain berserk

Here comes another day<br />
