Sidney Wells - Richard Thompson[00:00:00]
Sidney Wells he drove the country North to South[00:00:26]
On the walkie talkie shooting off his mouth[00:00:29]
The other lorry drivers thought he was a laugh[00:00:32]
They didn't know the truth they didn't know the half[00:00:34]
Sidney Wells he had a lovely line on chat[00:00:43]
Before a girl could think he'd have her at his flat[00:00:46]
Dansette playing soft a gin'll do no harm[00:00:48]
No one could resist Sidney Wells' charm[00:00:51]
Now Cheryl was a waitress at the works canteen[00:01:15]
Older than she looked she'd pass for seventeen[00:01:18]
Too pretty to be doing such a lousy job[00:01:20]
Beauty queen smile hair cut in a bob[00:01:23]
Sidney Wells' rig came weaving down the road[00:01:32]
At Hennessey and Sons he dropped his heavy load[00:01:34]
Cheryl checked her make up looked up at the clock[00:01:37]
She had a date with Sidney at the loading dock[00:01:39]
He led her to the woods the sky was getting dark[00:02:03]
She thought it was romantic thought it was a lark[00:02:06]
Buried in her mind there rang a small alarm[00:02:09]
But no girl could resist Sidney Wells' charm[00:02:11]
Then he took off her clothes and threw them in a pile[00:02:20]
He watched her stand there cold and shivering for a while[00:02:23]
Then he picked up her stocking lying on the floor[00:02:25]
And wrapped it round her neck until she breathed no more[00:02:28]
He tried to burn the body he didn't do it well[00:02:47]
Up on a pile of tires it was an awful smell[00:02:49]
They found her poor remains and summoned the bereft[00:02:52]
And took her to the church to bury what was left[00:02:54]
Now Sidney Wells he was a heartless kind of rake[00:03:02]
The blood within his veins was colder than a snake[00:03:04]
He didn't run he carried on just like before[00:03:07]
Until the CID came knocking at the door[00:03:09]
The judge said [00:03:33]
Mr Wells the evidence is strong[00:03:34]
Said Wells [00:03:36]
I'll not deny what took you all so long[00:03:36]
All you see is victims all I see is brides[00:03:38]
I'm guilty to the gills and seven more besides yeah[00:03:41]
They took him to the jail ready for the worst[00:03:49]
Justice would be served but who would get there first[00:03:52]
He bled just like a pig slaughtered on the farm[00:03:55]
The inmates weren't impressed by Sidney Wells' charm[00:03:57]
