INSIDE

Brother Seems they`re letting him out next year
He`s behaving himself, I hear
Governor Conway says it will be fine
Just as long as he can tow the line

It`s the same old story
But it says here "Mum you`re not to worry"
`Cos some you lose and some you lose

At this party, he was on his own
All he did was say he`d take her home
But it seems they didn`t go straight there
`cos on the porch, she told him,
"put your hand here"

Yes it`s that same old story
They told her mum she`s not to worry

Police "If what she says is so,
we`ll never let him go!"

Him "Never a word could be heard
Not even the sound of a bird
Singing it over again, telling a different story
Never the same as before
See the summer going out by the door"
Brother And now that you`ve paid for those lies
Get another disguise

"It`s twenty years now since our Kid came free
Oh I remember August `53
But it wasn`t quite like they said
With that behind you, you can`t plan ahead
Yes it`s the same old story
They say you`re free, but don`t worry
What they said`s not so
They`ll never let you go!"

Him "Never a word could be heard
Not even the sound of a bird
Singing it over again, telling a different story
Never the same as before
See the summer going out by the door"
Brother And now that you`ve paid for those lies
Get another disguise

OUT
