The public park has turned to mud
They found him lying in a pool of blood
There’s a Bargain Booze just down the street
And a young girl shouting from a limousine
Today’s the day of the May Day parade
I found my way but I got back too late
I want to ride on Chris’ boat
I left my wallet in my winter coat
And there’s a girl that’s never coming back
No, she went down to the railway track
Today’s the day of the May Day parade
I found my way but I got back home, no, I got back home too late
May Day May Day May Day
Young boys going, grazing up their knees
While the men get pissed taking shelter in the marquee
Old man lying where the chestnuts grow
With a plastic bag and a bottle of Strongbow
Went out drinking with some local girls
Crashed his car into the bottom of the river
For all I think and for all you’ve done
I forgive you man ‘cos you are my brother
If you ever have the time
Maybe one day, drop me a line
