Mark McGuigan plays all the guitars and wrote the music; Grün (me) added the bass, wrote the words and Ona Meyer is singing on this version.

I wrote this about the successful liberation of the guinea pig death camps run by David Hall and Partners at Darley Oaks farm in Newchurch.

But ending any abusive relationship is a good thing.

You helped me get away
I thank you
Always

For standing in the rain
I thank you
Always

You stayed till I was safe
I thank you
Always

Alone and afraid and waiting to die
I didn’t count on that when I entered this life
I wanted love and affection, love and affection

Nothing I could do would ever be right
I was never good enough, it was never quite right
I lived with the dejection, no respect, no protection

You took the protests and the hate
It wasn’t easy

All the time you had to wait
But you freed me

Why do people like him do what they always do?
Why did he grind me down, why did he treat me cruel?
So much anger and rejection, anger and rejection

I’m glad you came along, I’m glad you were a part of it
I’m glad you got involved, I’m glad you got me out of it
I needed your protection, thank you for protection
