O how I remember that night,
the long winding staircase
stinking of urine,
you saying
don't worry all
will be fine

I lost my red stiletto shoe
in our haste to
get to the
"Room At The Top"

We were young,
we were hungry
to shed all outer trappings,
hungry to be one
skin on skin

Closing our mind to the
threat of nuclear war,
'The bay of pigs'
brought fear to our
teenage hearts

We wanted to live
before we died,
we knew it all
Mam & Dad knew
nowt

O the stench of urine
in that room,
I remember it till this day,
we could hear mice
scuttling,
leaving their
black death droppings

Soon ...

you reached my inner core,
the life giving womb
of future generations

We became one,
in that stinking ...
"Room At The Top"
