The subtext of this song

I've thought about it for so long

But it's really not the sort of thing

That people want to hear us sing



The context of this song

Well I could go on and on

But it's still unfashionable

To believe in principles



South south Yorkshire

Mass murderer

How can you sleep at night

Sleep at night



The reason for this song

Well, it may be a pointless one

But thanks to you Jimmy McGovern

For reminding me of what lives on



The ending for this song

Well, I haven't really thought of one

There's nothing I could ever say

That could really take the pain away



South south Yorkshire

Mass murderer

How can you sleep at night

Sleep at night
