Lyrics

Villy came down from northern Scotland only yesterday 
over land and under low cloud 
year long winter grey 
born in nineteen-seventy-seven 
will die in ninety-five 
a modern day statistic in collateral damage 
Billy prays not to survive 

a year and a day since he went away 
now everybody look at me! 
without a sound 
he kissed the ground 
Billy's line 

hey! you! 
God on my side watching you 

and ever since a friend had told him 
"Billy you're looking fine" 
he'd sensed that a place in the human race 
was looking more and more like a Right Divine 

and not a million miles from Welwyn Garden City 
his favourite melody 
"radio world war three" 

hey! you! 
God on my side watching you

Billy walked down the full length of the hallway 
and opened up the double doors 
seven hundred miles to be united 
Billy lie down 
and join your family line
