Dunn's River

I see

all of the girls

go out

high on the happy bombs 

-

I'm only

21

But I

Know where the blast came from

-

When boys

came here to pay

the debts

of mascara's bombs away

-

I heard 

my father call

to them

as they shot him by the wall

-

Newspapers

did report

a man

killed right here in Treport

-

Now all 

the friends are gone

six years

is all that they have done

-

I buy

in this small town

my meat

from men who gunned him down

-

And ev-'ry

one will know

No good

can come from saying so

-

So I

eat no more meat

than I

find in this old dark street

-

smoked sal-mon

haddock fillet

Sweet cured

Smoked mackerel sweet with bay

-

Dripping

Pork shoulder steak

Tesco's

spicy minced lamb's liver bakes
