In a river the colour of lead <br />
Immerse the baby's head <br />
Wrap her up in the News Of The World <br />
Dump her on a doorstep, girl <br />
This night has opened my eyes <br />
And I will never sleep again <br />
<br />
You kicked and cried like a bullied child <br />
A grown man of twenty-five <br />
Oh, he said he'd cure your ills <br />
But he didn't and he never will <br />
Oh, save your life <br />
Because you've only got one <br />
<br />
<br />
The dream has gone <br />
But the baby is real <br />
Oh, you did a good thing <br />
She could have been a poet <br />
Or, she could have been a fool <br />
Oh, you did a bad thing <br />
And I'm not happy <br />
And I'm not sad <br />
<br />
<br />
A shoeless child on a swing <br />
Reminds you of your own again <br />
She took away your troubles <br />
Oh, but then again <br />
She left pain <br />
So, please save your life <br />
Because you've only got one <br />
<br />
<br />
The dream has gone <br />
But the baby is real <br />
Oh, you did a good thing <br />
She could have been a poet <br />
Or, she could have been a fool <br />
Oh, you did a bad thing <br />
And I'm not happy <br />
And I'm not sad <br />
Oh ... <br />
And I'm not happy <br />
And I'm not sad <br />
Oh ... <br />
And I'm not happy <br />
And I'm not sad
