lyrics

We heard first from you and then in the papers
And the radio said at 3pm when all of the people
Crowded around at the stakes just yards from the lake

But we heard you say that nobody knew about
The dangers and all the stages opened up an appalling line
Of people waiting in vain as it started to rain

We had laughed about the days when I wouldn’t say the fourth of May
And sometimes we told stories where movie stars were old
And made up to seem like they were only seventeen
And then we’d spend a dollar for the frames

We heard that you fell down when the flames came out
And people started to shout that some had fallen and still lay down
Their faces dark from the flames the news had read out the names

We had laughed about the days when I wouldn’t say the fourth of May
And sometimes we told stories where movie stars were old
And made up to seem like they were only seventeen
And then we’d spend a dollar for the frames
