Suicide on Downing St.
Tim Finn

It was no personal defeat,nThat suicide on Downing Street,nThey found him burning in his car,nHe paid the price for what we are.nnA stroke of luck, a trick of fate,nThe life I build, the mess I make,nToo young to retire, too old to live,nThis message all he had to give,nn[Chorus]nDerek Bainbridge did not die in vain,nAnd I will sing his sad luck story,nDesparation is a warning flame,nNow we stand or fall with Derek Bainbridge.nnHe came 160 miles,nTo wipe away all those smug smiles,nThe empty hours dragging by,nHis spirit withered up inside.nn[Chorus]nnHe felt the man that he could be,nWas only wasted potential.nHe went swimming in the deep forbidden sea,nLooking for that extra dimension,nIn a selfish blue nation.nnIt was no personal defeat,nThat suicide on Downing Street,nYou cannot call us civilized,nAs long as one life is denied.nn[Chorus]nnSwinging on a one-way pendulum,nDriving down a dead end highway,nDesparation is a warning flame,nNow we stand or fall,nDo we stand or fall.
