Tipsy? Drunk?  Read On!  For The Boy,  R.I.P. 1990


If Only They Thought?

If Only People didn't drink and drive,
If only they used their head,
If only they thought of the consequences,
There would be a lot less dead!

If only people weren't selfish!
If only they had a care!
If only they thought of others,
The others would still be here.

If only people saw sense!
If only they'd stay at home!
If only they'd got a taxi…!
And left the car at home!

If only they used their brain!
If only drunks had a care,
If they only knew the score,
The dead would still be here.

In memory of a 13 yr old lad,
Hit by a drunk in a car!
He was on his way home from school.
He was killed outright.
He never stood a chance.
The driver mounted the kerb,
Smashed him into the wall,
Then drove off!

But they got him!
