Thomas Orchard is No Longer Around Lyrics by The Cut Ups

The Nerves

217

Thank God for good coppers
I wish the rest of them would do their jobs first
Thank God for good coppers
I wish I’d say something that’s so profound
But that lad Thomas Orchard’s no longer around
And the paving stones know that there’s truth to be found
But that lad Thomas Orchard’s no longer around
He climbed the hill, now a journey profound
I heard the sirens like everyone else
The policemen came to lay the law down
Now that lad Thomas Orchard’s no longer around
Thank God for good coppers
I wish the rest of them would do their jobs first
Thank God for good coppers
Locked in a cell half a mile from the town
With a bruise on his head that hadn’t gone down
Pinned to the floor under two hundred pounds
Now that lad Thomas Orchard’s no longer around
The doctors and nurses could not understand
As the ambulance sped, so as not to compound
What they’d done to stop all his sounds
Now that lad Thomas Orchard’s no longer around
I wish I could say something so profound
But that lad Thomas Orchard’s no longer around
And the paving stones know that there’s truth to be found
But that lad Thomas Orchard’s no longer around
And the Minister prayed for a proper account
As they laid Thomas Orchard’s bones in the ground
Justice declared, but injustice abounds
Now that lad Thomas Orchard is no longer around
