LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
In a river the color of lead
Immerse the baby's head
Wrap her up in The News Of The World
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
This night has opened my eyes
And I will never sleep again

[Verse 2]
You kicked and cried like a bullied child
A grown man of twenty-five
Oh, he said he'd cure your ills
But he didn't and he never will
Oh, save your life
Because you've only got one

[Chorus]
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad

[Verse 3]
A shoeless child on a swing
Reminds you of your own again
She took away your troubles
Oh, but then again, she left pain
Oh, please save your life
Because you've only got one

[Chorus]
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad

[Outro]
Oh, la-la, oh, oh, la-la
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad
Oh, la-la, oh-oh, oh, la-la
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad
