This Night Has Opened My Eyes
In a river the colour of lead
Immerse a baby's head
Wrap her up in the News of the World
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
This night, this night has opened my eyes
And I will never sleep again
You kicked and cried like a bullied child
Grown man of 25
Well, he said he'd cure your ills
But he didn't, and he never will
So, so, save your life
'Cause you really have but one
The dream is gone, but the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
Could've been a poet, or could've been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad
Shoeless child on a swing
Reminds you you're on your own again
Well, she took away your troubles
Then again she left pain, oh
So, so, save your life
Save your life
The dream is gone, but the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
Could've been a poet, or could've been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad, woo-oo
Immerse a baby's head
Wrap her up in the News of the World
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
This night, this night has opened my eyes
And I will never sleep again
You kicked and cried like a bullied child
Grown man of 25
Well, he said he'd cure your ills
But he didn't, and he never will
So, so, save your life
'Cause you really have but one
The dream is gone, but the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
Could've been a poet, or could've been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad
Shoeless child on a swing
Reminds you you're on your own again
Well, she took away your troubles
Then again she left pain, oh
So, so, save your life
Save your life
The dream is gone, but the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
Could've been a poet, or could've been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad, woo-oo
