Barbara Jackson said will you show some respect

To a desperate man will you show some respect

The Bishop said I am horrified

By these peoples actions I'm horrified

If you've ever been to Derby

You'd know the reason why

If you've ever been to Derby

You'd see the same as I

The superintendent of the local police

Said the crowd didn't really commit an offense

The security guard who did crowd control

Said there's horrible scenes

These were horrible scenes

The acting chief of the mental health

Said we can't condem this strongly enough

And no one knows what was going on

In his head no one knows what was going on

If you've ever been to Derby

You'd know the reason why

If you've ever been to Derby

You'd see the same as I

And his best friend said ever since he was four

He smiled all the time he was so popular

His parents just couldn't say a thing

And the tributes were left

By the school gate

If you've ever been to Derby

You'd know the reason why

If you've ever been to Derby

You'd have seen the same as I
