On September 3rd 2003

I was softly touched by a warm summer breeze

There were blue tits flocking and swerving

My accuracy is quite unnerving


I stole into a burnt, orange field

Which once was green, but lost its zeal

To prance and dance and sing around

Which is not condoned in the centre of town


Children please beware!

I'm choked with fear

Oh children please beware!

I'm choked with fear

(repeat)


And as I crunched those crispy leaves

I walked towards a shaded tree

To find a young girl lying there

Drifting off without a care


Her face was covered by a straw hat

'Happy as Larry' and all of that

When I shouted out to wake her up

She was skipping school in the burning hot


Children please beware!

I'm choked with fear

Oh children please beware!

I'm choked with fear

(repeat)


And as I tried to get her to speak

I realised that she was not asleep

I moved her hat to find that her face was grey

Her knickers wrapped around her ankles

It's not funny!


Children please beware!

I'm choked with fear

Oh children please beware!

I'm choked with fear

(repeat)


Swamped with fear...

Drown in fear...
