about

Inspired by the vigil for Sarah Everard on Clapham Common, Hayley Mortimer, BBC Political Reporter’s response on twitter “I’ve typed and deleted so many tweets. I’m just going to say this.... Women and flowers. It was just women and flowers.” and the Civil Rights protests in Chicago 1968.

lyrics

Come with me if you want to live
Or stay right here for your cause
The flowers are trampled and
The police are waiting on command

The crowd are capturing every detail
It only serves to harm your defence
A silence falls on the common
As we reach for each other’s hands

Then somewhere we can hear more sirens
But they’re not here to defend our human rights
There’s a new battalion of soldiers
No one’s going home without a fight

The whole world is watching
The whole world is watching
They’ll never forget you
Now the whole world is watching

Politicians stand with flags on television
And smile for cameras at the food banks they have caused
They’re stirring up hatred
As they demonstrate their contempt for us all

From all around us we can hear the people chanting
As we join in it lends us greatly needed strength
We hold each other closer
Whilst we’re waiting for their hammer to fall.

Then somewhere an order has been issued
Take back control whatever is the cost
And so it falls again to women and flowers
To show us all the lines that have been crossed

The whole world is watching
The whole world is watching
They’ll never forget you
Not now the whole world is watching
