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
