WHY I QUIT

I waited

Yes, I waited

I waited long enough

I stayed on in vain

That`s why I took off

I didn`t see the chimney smoke

I didn`t hear the tweeting birds

I didn`t smell the Manchester blast furnace

I didn`t hear the big, red, London bus.

But I saw the writing on the wall

It was in bold grey letters

But it was written in blood

That`s why the sacred golden wall bled

And that`s why I left.

That`s why I took to my heels.
