I can't find no one to play a game today
I’ve knocked on doors but no one's home
My mum told me to play on my own today
My mum said I'll be told soon

No one's smiling on this Wednesday
The wireless man is reading the news
He's telling me all my friends have gone away
The tears roll down onto my shoes

I close my eyes and wish it all away
Instead I'm looking straight at you
Will I really ever forget this day
Daddy's home but he's sad too

15 seconds was all they said it took
Victoria's park lit up the sky
173 people fell last night
And some of them were friends I knew
