WHERE was that place we once lived, dad?

What was that place of renown

St Helens in Lancashire, my son,

Where we had great pride in our
town.


And whenever did we live next,
dad?


Why do I see you frown?


St Helens in Merseyside, my son


Where they ripped the heart from
our town.


And where is the place we live
now, dad?


How has this nightmare grown?


St Helens in Warehouseland, my
son


Where the region gnaws at our
bones.
