This is the stuff of legend, those stories
That you can tell people for years to come
I came for a London weekend to see
My daughter, but her mum, my ex-wife's, gone
And made the front page of the papers, from
A car crash last Easter, she's a teacher
Does that make it newsworthy? That's the sum
Of a big news story up north? Daughter
Got stressed-out call from mum, and she caught the
Train north as I caught coach south, meaning she's
Not there (to quote The Zombies). Mottingham
Is where I'm staying, with good friends, so the
Weekend is saved from homelessness. Crawley's
Where I'll be, watching football with my son
