this night has opened my eyes

In a river the colour of lead
Immerse the babys head
Wrap her up in the News Of The World
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
This night has opened my eyes
And I will never sleep again
You kicked and cried like a bullied child
A grown man of 25
Oh, he said hed cure your ills
But he didnt and he never will
Oh, save your life
Because youve only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And Im not happy
And Im not sad
A shoeless child on a swing
Reminds you of your own again
She took away your troubles
Oh, but then again she left pain
Oh, please save your life
Because youve only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And Im not happy
And Im not sad
Oh
And Im not happy
And Im not sad
Oh
And Im not happy
And Im not sad
