lyrics

This is a sad old song
But it runs at a fair old pace
By the time you've worked this out
You'll be on your next train

And what of children that are badly planned?
Upon that fateful night
I should have cum in my own hand

Fair grow the ones that know how to harm hearts
Old grow the ones that have to flee with their lives

I met another one on the bus to Preston
He was going further north
'Cause he had to feed a horse
And as he rattled on he stole my sleep from me
He made me think of you and the ones I cannot keep

Fair grow the ones that know how to harm hearts
Old grow the ones that have to flee with their lives

All's quiet in the north-west sky
All's quiet so just don't ask why I've had to flee

This is an old, old song
And it runs at a fair old pace
By the time you've worked me out
I'll be on my next train

And you'll wave me on
