Early Sunday morning on the 28th of June
I stroll through a village
Sun just arising and the milkman plays his tune
You've heard it
Passing by the park gates, the dog begins to move
Scratches the earth
Nothing will surprise him on the 28th of June
He's heard it all before
Old man Bent lies dying, seems as though he sleeps
That's not goo on his face, it's tears
No one knows, no one cares
Bits of coloured paper fly around the church
Someone's on a one-way holiday on the 28th of June
Ah, keep smiling, they said, it ain't so easy
He cried and cried and cried
Up an avenue of trees on the 28th of June
Nellie no longer at her window
All her business is done
Sleep, Nellie, tomorrow night's another long and weary day
Another long and weary day
Papers lie in doorways, pretty girls lie in bed with their lovers
Scrubbers lie in more hallways, politicians lie, and lie
Blood on the sidewalk, mixed with bits of glass
Someone died here, even in a village
On the 28th of June
Can't get away, can't get away
Can't get away, can't get away
Old man Bent lies dying, can't get away
Old man Bent lies dying, can't get away
Can't get away
