lyrics

Billy's down on his knees and he's begging for mercy
From God or a gun
The bright blood on the trees flashes violently
In the October sun

The proud glitter of youth in his eyes
Sent out to fight on a lie
So he picked upa needle
No white doves flew over the fire

Mary woke up in sheets at the age of thirty three
By a drunk and a dog
She walked with bare feet, fighting on the street
Never heard of love

The small change it felt so unkind
When the kicked her it seemed more polite
So she swigged on a bottle
No white doves flew over the fire

There's plenty around who need your kind of love
Fate can't have been looking when she made me lucky enough

Thought I had fallen to many times
Been messing up most of my life
But you threw your arms round me
And white doves flew over the fire
