<poem> | |||
Over the moor, take me to the moor | |||
Dig a shallow grave | |||
And I'll lay me down | |||
Over the moor, take me to the moor | |||
Dig a shallow grave | |||
And I'll lay me down | |||
Lesley-Anne, with your pretty white beads | |||
Oh John, you'll never be a man | |||
And you'll never see your home again | |||
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for | |||
Edward, see those alluring lights ? | |||
Tonight will be your very last night | |||
A woman said : "I know my son is dead | |||
I'll never rest my hands on his sacred head" | |||
Hindley wakes and Hindley says : | |||
Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says : | |||
"Oh, wherever he has gone, I have gone" | |||
But fresh lilaced moorland fields | |||
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death | |||
Fresh lilaced moorland fields | |||
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death | |||
Hindley wakes and says : | |||
Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says : | |||
"Oh, whatever he has done, I have done" | |||
But this is no easy ride | |||
For a child cries: | |||
"Oh, find me...find me, nothing more | |||
We are on a sullen misty moor | |||
We may be dead and we may be gone | |||
But we will be, we will be, we will be, right by your side | |||
Until the day you die | |||
This is no easy ride | |||
We will haunt you when you laugh | |||
Yes, you could say we're a team | |||
You might sleep | |||
You might sleep | |||
You might sleep | |||
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM ! | |||
Oh, you might sleep | |||
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM ! | |||
You might sleep | |||
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !" | |||
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for | |||
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for | |||
Oh, find me, find me ! | |||
Find me ! | |||
I'll haunt you when you laugh | |||
Oh, I'll haunt you when you laugh | |||
You might sleep | |||
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM ! | |||
Oh... | |||
Over the moors, I'm on the moor | |||
Oh, over the moor | |||
Oh, the child is on the moor | |||
