Seems they're letting him out next year   He's behaving himself, I hear   Governor Conway says, "It will be fine   Just as long as he can tow the line"   It's the same old story   But it says here, "Mum you're not to worry"   'Cos some you lose and some you lose      At this party, he was on his own   All he did was say, "He'd take her home"   But it seems they didn't go straight there   'Cos on the porch, she told him, "Put your hand here"   Yes it's that same old story   They told her mum she's not to worry   If what she says is so   We'll never let him go      Never a word could be heard   Not even the sound of a bird   Singing it over again   Telling a different story   Never the same as before   See the summer going out by the door   Now that you've paid for those lies   Get another disguise      It's twenty years now since our kid came free   Oh I remember august '53   But it wasn't quite like they said   With that behind you, you can't plan ahead   Yes it's the same old story   They say you're free, but don't worry   What they said's not so   They'll never let you go      Never a word could be heard   Not even the sound of a bird   Singing it over again   Telling a different story   Never the same as before   See the summer going out by the door   Now that you've paid for those lies   Get another disguise
