Lyrics written by Tom Crisp. Recorded at Ashlawn Recording Company.

lyrics

(well the)
thought left his head at the speed of sound and the
sky stained red as he span all around and I
saw all the lead as I opened my chute and the
boys on the ground they count twenty two

and I’ll look down over all I can see
oh I just wished you’d stayed off that balcony

(and the)
birds left their nest and went over the side and for
got all their legs as their mothers cry
and the rest of my friends oh the fantastic crew oh the
fox got their necks at the rendezvous

and I’ll look down over all I can see
oh I just wished you’d stayed in the falconry

(oh and)
Daddy cried as he tried to show all the
pages of feelings he ought to have known what it
meant to begin after seeing the bird that pulled
down little John and to breath not a word

and I’ll look down over all I can see
oh I love the queen and she loves me

*slower now*

and nothing hurt more than was not meant to be
oh God saves the Queen and she’ll save me
