My home is number sixteen, situated on Bush2<\/p>\n
There are no fancy carpets or no panoramic view.<\/p>\n
Just Lino there for flooring and an antique for a bed.<\/p>\n
Sure you\u2019re not in the fucking Hilton son, just some place to put your head.<\/p>\n
\n
The food wont fill you fully, it will fill a gap or two.<\/p>\n
A choice of main or salad, a soup or roll or stew.<\/p>\n
The service isn\u2019t with a smile you get a moan or a grunt.<\/p>\n
You gonna lay all fucking day you lazy Derry cunt.<\/p>\n
\n
Not the smile or welcome that you know from family, friend and kin.<\/p>\n
You can like or you can lump it, it\u2019s your crime that put you in.<\/p>\n
So stop your fucking greeting and grow a set young Po.<\/p>\n
Two years are up the Judge\u2019s, another two to go.<\/p>\n
\n
Photos, cards and letters are sent to raise a smile.<\/p>\n
They help to keep your spirits up they\u2019re sent from miles and miles.<\/p>\n
From sisters, bro\u2019s in England, Scotland and closer too.<\/p>\n
There never that far away their hearts are always true.<\/p>\n
\n
I\u2019m sixty miles from my place, just a bus or train away.<\/p>\n
Until the Governor tells me so, this is the place I\u2019ll stay.<\/p>\n
So, heads up son and stand with pride you\u2019ll never walk alone.<\/p>\n
Realise it\u2019s just a place, it\u2019s home but not so sweet home.<\/p>\n
