lyrics

The room is empty but for a flag and some cans
And an abstract man
Hood down, so it couldn’t be you
Bare your soles to the lens
And slip off the strings holding up those blood-bleached jeans
Struggling to attention
Spit on the floor
And with a gesture one could interpret in various ways
Vent your sac on the Union Jack

The screen melts again
A second room, a second man
He looks unsure but you’re there to reassure
Those words of hatred still drip from your lips
Repurposed now for a different game
The screen melts again
He’s on his knees
Not shy now
Does he despise, like you?
Does he pretend to?
Lick off the blood

The screen melts again
Into Channel 4
You're lit as though you're the feature of a South Bank Show
The most vicious of lives behind you now
So you say
And in that moment it's hard to disbelieve you
And Ian says he's going to kill you
And all the boys are after you
But they're still terrified
For a world that never made sense
Makes even less sense now
A flash of yellow lycra on a bike in Soho
Was it you? Was it you?
Someone said ‘good for you’
But they never saw you again
And not much later you died holding his hand
For you were but a man
You were but a man
You were just a man
Just a man
