Subject: RE: Songs about David Oluwale-Leeds homeless black man
MO FE LO LE (Gary McVeigh-Kaye)
Across the sea To the streets of Leeds Chasing girls Chasing dreams
The boys in blue Had a different view They chased David To a place that ?? you
Mo Fe Lo Le Mo Fe Lo Le Mo Fe Lo Le I want to go home
Mo Fe Lo Le Mo Fe Lo Le Mo Fe Lo Le I want to go home
Don't ?? feel well No cozy bed He is in Menston With a shock to the head
On the streets once more Killed in a shop door No protection from The long arm of the law
Mo Fe Lo Le Mo Fe Lo Le Mo Fe Lo Le I want to go home
Mo Fe Lo Le Mo Fe Lo Le Mo Fe Lo Le I want to go home
The charge-sheet read Oluwale was dead It wasn't our fault Ellerker and Kitching said
Your PC Jones We'll chill to the bone In a moment of truth Sent David's soul home
Ilui ti sumi 'Til the tides have turned Ilui ti sumi 'Til the lesson's learned Ilui ti sumi Until we find a home David Oluwale died alone
The law's the law Unless you're black or poor Half the world still turns One thing is sure
To England's shame It happens again Same old crime Just different names
Mo Fe Lo Le Mo Fe Lo Le Mo Fe Lo Le I want to go home
Mo Fe Lo Le Mo Fe Lo Le Mo Fe Lo Le I want to go home
I grabbed these lyrics off Youtube's "transcript" function at https://youtu.be/j9y8grSeJjU There were lots of errors, I corrected them as best I could WB
