Innocent Thing

One evening

I picked a girl up at the corner

Not how it seems

I just gave her a lift to her door

Kissed on the cheek

As thanks before she rushed off



Then the very next morning its all over the world

When the very next morning no one should have cared

An innocent thing is twisted by you

Your damn photographer with nowt* else to do

Why did you seek me just to slur my name?



I didn’t sleep with that prostitute



One night

I drive round to see an old friend

A pair in the oven

But she still looks quite fine

She leans over

And my imperfect mind steals a view



Then the very next morning its all over the world

When the very next morning no one should have cared

An innocent thing is twisted by you

Your damn photographer with nowt* else to do

Why did you seek me just to slur my name?



I never slept with that girl



The next night

While I nurse undeserved bruises from a wife

In rage

My old friend’s husband at the door

He pulls a trigger

And throws the body in a lake



Then the very next morning its all over the world

When the very next morning no one should have cared

An evil thing is milked by you

Your damn photographer with nowt* else to do

Why did you seek me just to slur my name?



I never got to say ‘fuck you’



Then the very next morning its all over the world

When the very next morning no one should have cared

An innocent thing is twisted by you

Your damn photographer with nowt* else to do

Why did you seek me just to slur my name?



Then the morning after its no longer the word

The morning after no body cares

And innocent thing is killed by you

Another life has nowt* he can do



* Nowt = nothing
