just the other day
saw two buses collide
at the bottom of the hill
at the top of the ‘meter
couldn’t think what I’d say
to all the people who died
and it should’ve sent a chill
down the edge of my spine

but they were probably all lonely anyway

they didn’t have a car
probably couldn’t even drive
and their spouses weren’t around
not to save them this time
exploding liquid glass
a baby learnt to fly
as the baby hit the ground
a mother learnt to cry

but they were probably all lonely anyway
