One Girl, One Trouble
Whether the weather be cold
Whether the weather the bold
We'll weather the weather
No matter the weather
That was how I felt

Now, he is torn to pieces
Clinging to what can only be faeces
When compared to the ritual
Which characterises love that is mutual
He is shattered
His hallucinations scattered
Their union was sundered
As discrimination thundered
