Callum - The Parade lyrics

No apostle of the straight world Who from their copy of the Gospel Scribbled out ‘love our neighbour' With up to two years of hard labour Do you hear the bite inside a cyanide-laced apple? They're the reason Turing died Labour changed the law In nineteen sixty-seven But there remains a right For the gay liberation fight If you can't hold hands in the streets when There's still the fear of being beaten And dad kicked Lee out of the family house No apostles of the straight world Who from their copy of the Gospel Scribbled out ‘love our neighbour' With two years of scars, smeared by these school peers Do you hear her reach for her dad's medicine cabinet? Nineteen and provoked to overdose On fifty paracetamol tablets
