Alasdair Gillis - Whitechapel Lyrics

And the Blackshirts swayed
In such a strange parade
Past hardwood homes and narrow streets
Where children played

They brought the horses down
By spreading marbles 'round
All wild-eyed before the war
Drove them underground

I might be gone by morning though
I pray my soul to keep
At least they'll know I'm human by
The way I went to sleep

A simple five year plan
Born at the Sally Ann
He woke his comrades up to share his dream
For the common man

Against the Ten Bells wall
That Whitechapel fall
She sold her smile to a troubled man
Who'd erase it all

I might be gone by morning though
I pray my soul to keep
At least they'll know I'm human by
The way I went to sleep

Not in a dark freak show
Not in the West End glow
No the doctor's knife couldn't find the life
They all failed to know

I might be gone by morning though
I pray my soul to keep
At least they'll know I'm human by
The way I went to sleep
