The subtext of this song I've thought about for so long   But its 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 murderers how can you sleep at night, sleep at night   South south Yorkshire - mass murderers how can you sleep at night, sleep at night      The reason for this song well it maybe a pointless one but thank you Jimmy McGovern for reminding what lives on      The ending of this well I haven't really thought of one   There's nothing I could ever say that could really take that pain away      South south Yorkshire - mass murderers how can you sleep at night, sleep at night   South south Yorkshire - mass murderers how can you sleep at night, sleep at night
