WHAT THEY SAID TO DERRICK
I shared a room with Derrick when I was just 16
and unless you've ever known Derrick it's hard to understand what I mean
See Derrick only new 3 words
They were
Hello, you bugger & mucky turds.
They told me Derrick would be 31 soon
but I all I heard was when he chuckled a childlike tune
Chuckled that Childlike tune every day calling me mucky turds cos Shaun was so hard to say
&
What will we do with you Derrick was what they always said?
What they always did with Derrick was put Derrick to bed.
Then every evening when I went out for my tea at about six
Derrick got his customary mushy weetabix
&
What will we do with you Derrick was what they always said?
What they always did with Derrick was put Derrick to bed.
See if you don't talk
If you can't talk
You become just another blocked drain
Wondering if you're still sane
So that was my shock sharp surprise
If I ever saw Derrick with open eyes
See I shared a room with Derrick
And what they said to Derrick they'd never say
No never do to me
From then I struggled hard away from the noose to be free.
