She lost consciousness some time, between vodka, lager and lime,
Landlord closed and went off home, left them outside all alone,
There I found them on the floor, in the corner by the door,
Down a stoney St. Ives street, with a rag doll dragging feet,
Little did we know, something wicked this way came,
Little did we know, she would dance around the blame.
Let's live a crisis, like we're on the BBC,
Let's go to Albert Square and stop at Casualty.
Let's spare the facts let's get creative with the truth,
Let's get some drama let's throw Buster to the Wolves.
Scared she'd hit her head, tried to carry her instead,
Gallant as this sounds, likely they'd just hit the ground,
Left them kerb-side by the bay, parked the car too far away,
Got back there pretty quick, mental note about the sick,
Little did we know, something wicked this way came,
Little did we know, she would dance around the blame.
Next day's quiet nothing said, wondering what might lay ahead,
living with a sense of doubt, can't step in and can't stay out,
docu-drama, fly on wall, thinking big while being small,
can we change a person's mind, when the eye inside is blind,
write a script that makes more sense, while we sit here on the fence,
crown-court, pills, more casualty, life as seen on her TV.
