about

This song is loosely based on reported newspaper article/press coverage of an undercover policeman who began a long term relationship with one of the eco-activists he was sent to spy on. They had children before the truth was discovered.

lyrics

She worked hard for all the world
The Isle of Thanet and all the Gannets
Piercing waters blue

He worked hard for his country
Went undercover and under the radar
For the Boys in Blue

Is it just that when boy meets girl
The animal brain takes over
Well undercover went under the covers
With the lady that worked for me and waters blue

Where did Daddy go oh
What did Daddy do?
Must be hard to tell
To a heart so true

She fell in love with all her might
She saw her man defend her land
What more need he do

He couldn't stop what he'd started
He watched his lie grow up to the sky
And cloud over the blue

Is it just that the powerful
Push paranoid delusions?
Well undercover went under the covers
With the lady that worked for me and waters blue

Where did Daddy go oh
What did Daddy do?
Must be hard to tell
To a heart so true
