DOWN AT STOCKWELL STATION
Written by Henry Peacock Tune; The Keeper

The lookout called, He's left his home!
Under his coat he carries a bomb
To blow us all to Kingdom come
Down at Stockwell station

Chorus; Are you armed? With a gun!
Can you shoot? Anyone!
Like the young man whose life was undone
Down at Stockwell station

Cressida Dick was in command
She held his future in her hand
He must be stopped! was her demand
Down at Stockwell station

Nobody heard a warning shout
Before two men began the rout
Loudly, gunshots they rang out
Down at Stockwell station

Who could have guessed what lay in store?
He hadn't broken any law
And yet he lay dead on the floor
Down at Stockwell station

Sir Ian Blair hides behind his lies
We must keep London safe, he sighs
Meanwhile, a mother softly cries
Down at Stockwell station
