Sauce For The Goose (Rough Justice)
1 Yes, I ran away!
It was so close to killing me.
I couldn't take the pain,
But you think I should have let it end me.
CHORUS
What kind of justice
is without trial?
What kind of friend
fights on the other side?
What kind of life?
2 And I couldn't cope!
It was only me that was breaking.
And he didn't help,
But I should remember that he has feelings too.
3 I was on my own.
It was me that said you should help him.
Then you were gone,
But I should shut up incase I hurt him now.
4 Yes I know I'm not the only one,
But you say that to people you've been spending your time with!
You got it wrong,
But I shouldn't shout, or say wild words about it now.

Thank you for your poetic response, Nigel ? I can't agree that justice doesn't need a trial but as for the rest, I couldn't agree more!
Truth is your friend,
Life returns
Shout out wild words
