The emergency services lapped up against her
Ships raiding the rocky shore
Pulse just a sheet in the wind
Water in her lungs rock-pooling on the sand
mixing with blood and cordite
Helicopters and news reporters circle above
buzzards waiting to pick off their prey
One by one by One o'clock Special
Live from this island getaway
We navigate this gently shrouded wasteland
stalking barefoot victims with
Camera crew and microphone booms
Scope out the same terrain
like a killer might do
setting up a line of sight
stepping over wreckage
sim-cards washed up on shingles
Shooting pot shots in the rain
