Battersea Bridge Baptism
Susan where are you?
Where is the baby?
Come out of the bedroom
Or we're coming in.
Nobody will hurt you
You need to get well
It's not my decision
But we have to take him.
Someone find a towel
she's soaked to the skin
And close the front door now
She's not saying anything.
This house is a mess
This was her last chance
Someone check the cellar
We might need an ambulance.
Too early to say
If they'll ever forgive her
The baby is gone
And Susan smells of the river.
