Only Poor Star
On the outskirts of Liverpool
lie's a place called Kirkby
Where the residents were supposed
to be so poor
They were unashamedly referred to
and labeled as Sock Robber's
Due to the fact they were so poor
they would even steal socks off other
people's washing line's once put out
and left to dry
But better still whilst listening to them
discuss between themselves from
different area or parts of Kirkby
Which was worse and who was
poorest I overheard this 1 of them say
People in Southdene where you are
from don't actually realize what they
think or believe to be is the North Star
the brightest star in the sky at night
Is actually in fact the search light
eminent from the police helicopter
circling overhead permanently
