+In a river the colour of lead
+Immerse a baby's head
+Wrap her up in the News Of The World
+Dump her on a doorstep, girl
+This night has opened my eyes
+And I will never sleep again
-}}
+You kicked and cried like a bullied child
+A grown man of twenty-five
+He said he'd cure your ills
+But he didn't and he never will
+So, save your life
+Because you've only got one
+The dream is gone
+But the baby is real
+Oh you did a good thing
+She could have been a poet
+Or, she could have been a fool
+Oh you did a bad thing
+And I'm not happy
+And I'm not sad
+A shoeless child on a swing
+Reminds you of your own again
+She took away your troubles
+Oh but then again she left pain
+So please save your life
+Because you've only got one
