about

This is inspired by Derrick Bird, a taxi driver who went on a bloody massacre in Cumbria on 2 June 2010, killing 12 people and injuring 11 others before killing himself.

lyrics

SOMEONE'S GOT TO GIVE

Through the hole cut in the fence
No land of happy accidents
Scratch the shopping-, waiting-lists;
Resounding screams and pounding fists.
- Houses for sale
Bad news in the mail
Someone's got to give

Down the winding village lane
Through ornament-strewn window: pain
Quiet lives like candles snuffed
By the hand of injustice rough.
- Gardens need doing
Cups of tea are stewing
Someone's got to give

The urgency for things they wished
Are suddenly extinguished
The wallpaper, the holiday
Go with them into the clay.
- Homework unwritten
The pair of winter mittens
No-one needs to give

In the House they demand the facts,
And shout about the nut that cracked.
But there's no hero, no villain
Whitehaven, Dunblane, Enniskillen.
- It's so hard to make it
In the end you can't take it
And someone's got to give
