The Sparky From Brazil published by Sagem Jean Charles Just a sparky from Brazil Just a hapless victim of the Stockwell Station kill Poor Jean Charles Your deck was badly stacked And no amount of sorry will ever bring you back Jean Charles When you walked out the gate It's just as well you didn't know how you would meet your fate Poor Jean Charles They didn't know your name Just assumed you were a killer with a suicidal aim Jean Charles It was all a bad mistake The suspicions were unfounded, The intelligence was fake Poor Jean Charles Got a bullet in the head Then six more to follow To make certain you were dead Jean Charles Who will answer now? Not the coroner or jury As the usher makes his bow Poor Jean Charles Your parents they despair As they contemplate your innocence And shed their bitter tears
