THIS HUDDLING IN MY COAT, THIS GYPSY BUNDLE

IN LIVERPOOL, IN SQUALOR CAST ADRIFT

A DIRTY RAGGED MESS OF DESPERATION

THOUGH DEVIL-TOUCHED I TOOK AS GOD'S OWN GIFT

NO HISTORY NO OWNER, RHYME NOR REASON

NOR EXPLANATION OF HIS SORRY STATE

AND YET WITH ALL THE FIRE OF THE SURVIVOR

I COULDN'T LEAVE IT

COULDN'T LEAVE IT TO ITS FATE



WHAT ARE WE TO DO WITH IT?

DIRTY, RAGGED, COLOURED BREED

WELCOME IT WITH OPEN ARMS?

WELCOME ONE MORE MOUTH TO FEED?

COULD YOUR OWN BLOOD NOT PROVIDE YOU

WITH THE GRATITUDE YOU NEED?

WE WILL CALL THE BOY HEATHCLIFF



AND EVERY MAN ON EARTH CONCEALS A SECRET

ON WHICH HE FEEDS AND YET TEARS HIM APART

AND THIS BASTARD CHILD OF MY OWN MAKING

WILL SORELY DESTROY THE STRONGEST HEART

AND AS YOU FALL INTO THE TRAPS HE SETS YOU

AND AS YOU'RE DRAWN TO CTSSSS HIS RECKLESS LINE

AND AS I WATCH YOU PEER INTO HIS DARKNESS

I PRAY THAT YOU'LL NEVER SEARCH

I PRAY YOU'LL NEVER SEARCH FOR MINE



WHAT ARE WE TO DO WITH IT?

DIRTY, RAGGED, COLOURED BREED

WELCOME IT WITH OPEN ARMS?

WELCOME ONE MORE MOUTH TO FEED?

COULD YOUR OWN BLOOD NOT PROVIDE YOU

WITH THE GRATITUDE YOU NEED?

WE'LL CALL HIM HEATHCLIFF



WHY SHOULD WE ALL TOLERATE ILLEGITIMATE DEMANDS?

OLDER, STRONGER -

YEARS PASS BY:

ALL SLIPS FURTHER FROM OUR HANDS



WE SHOULD DEAL WITH HINI IN LANGUAGE

THAT THE BASTARD UNDERSTANDS

WE MOST FORCE THIS FOREIGN DEVIL

FROM THIS HOUSE AT ANY PRICE

THERE'S A CASE FOR ANY MEASURE

ANY CRIME OR SACRIFICE



WHAT ARE WE TO DO WITH IT?

DIRTY, RAGGED, COLOURED BREED

WELCOME IT WITH OPEN ARMS?

WELCOME ONE MORE MOUTH TO FRED?

COULD YOUR OWN BLOOD NOT PROVIDE YOU

WITH THE GRATITUDE YOU NEED?
