Daresbury Tragedy
Here We Wait
We're in a field there is no town
It's past midnight
I'm bored to tears and the beam is down
Goin'home
I really wish I'm going home
I really should be
driving North, Driving North,
To Edinburgh, Edinburgh

Daresbury
When the beam is gone and we can't go on
It's Daresbury
Where the food is shite and we're up all night
It's hard to bear
There is no diffraction, we're goin' nowhere
Daresbury
We've got no car, so we can't get far
It's Daresbury
You don't feel well and the hostel smells
It's hard to bear
Been up 24 hours, we're goin' nowhere

Night and day
We fritter all our time away
In the pub
We buy a round and Dave won't pay
My weights gone up
I can't even fit in the hutch
And its all because of
Daresbury, Daresbury,
Top Science at Daresbury

Daresbury
When the breakfast's lard and the lunch is lard
It's Daresbury
When dinner's lard and you just eat lard
You've put on weight
Your trousers won't fasten, we're going nowhere
Daresbury
Prawn sandwiches not recommended
It's Daresbury
Get to the canteen as fast as you can
Leave it too late
The food is like rubber, it pings off your plate

DARESBURY!
Here I lie
In a lost and lonely part of town.
Held in time.
In a world of tears I slowly drown.
Goin'home.
I just can't make it all alone.
I really should be
Holding you, holding you.
Loving you loving you.

Tragedy.
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on.
It's tragedy.
When the morning cries and you don't know why.
It's hard to bear
With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere.
Tragedy.
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy.
When the morning cries and you don't know why.
It's hard to bear.
With no-one beside you you're goin' nowhere.

Night and day
There's a burning down inside of me.
Burning love.
With a yearning that won't let me be.
Down I go
And I just can't take it all alone.
I really should be
Holding you, Holding you.
Loving you loving you.

Tragedy.
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on.
It's tragedy.
When the morning cries and you don't know why.
It's hard to bear.
With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere.
Tragedy.
When you lose control and you got no soul.
It's tragedy.
When the morning cries and you don't know why.
It's hard to bear.
With no-one beside you you're goin' nowhere.

Tragedy!
