Place Of Safety

The knock came at the door
The summons was duly served
For us to appear at the High Court
We had no idea what we had done
Or who's rath we had incurred

The plaintiff was the mayor
And...........
If you don't know how it feels
I can tell you it's for real
The nightmare's started again
And again, and again, and again

We wanna take your children
And put them in care
It's just legal kidnapping
With no right of appeal

We've got a nice little home in Bromley
Run by Pye
Just like the Kincora
When... went bad and came to die

They call it a place of safety
Into the maelstrum we are hurled
'Cause that place of safety's
Often the worst place in the world

Prejudice combined with ignorance
It's a dangerous commodity
It's parents against injustice
Just feel the pain
When you turn up at the hospital
And they've taken your baby away

They've put him in a place of safety
Into the maelstrum we are hurled
'Cause that place of safety's
Often the worst place in the world
