Lyrics
Vengeance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Say it's true and say it ain't
when you're down in a hole
stay down keep your head down
cause there has to be a way of escape
Eating oatcakes down the road
listening to my radio
If Mars invades then we'll be allies
Reagan Thatcher won't last long
so I'll sing another song
Don't be depressed don't be downhearted
there's a mighty crisis coming
pearls of thunder pearls of wisdom
Reagan Thatcher dead and gone
In the steaming rain my clothes are wet
I'll never rest and I'll never forget
