What Kelly Knew by conniptions

A rough demo of a new song.
<b>What Kelly Knew</b>
Dr David Kelly was a quiet man of peace
A British civil servant in the arms control police
He spent the 1990s working for the UN team
That oversaw the end of Saddam's bio-weapons dream
Kelly was a scientist, his field microbiology
No-one knew more 'bout bio-warfare weapons and technology
A man of truth and science, they rewarded him so well
They made him CMG, he nearly won a Peace Nobel
Fast forward to two thousand three and Bush and Blair had plans for war
And Kelly got the dossier that claimed Iraq was ready for
The use of dirty weapons in three quarters of an hour
And Kelly knew it wasn't true - and here the tale goes sour.
He spoke to Andrew Gilligan, a journo for the BBC
"I'll tell you what I know", said Kelly, "just don't say that it was me."
But in the storm that followed they hung Kelly out to dry
Unusually the MoD confirmed he was the guy...
And just like Kelly said
If the war in Iraq goes ahead
They'll prob'ly find me dead in the wood
And they called it suicide
I'm not saying that they lied
But what Kelly knew has died with him for good
I'm not one for conspiracies but Kelly's death was very strange
The day he died he spoke of 'many dark actors playing games'
They found him in the woods 'full of co-proxamol', they said
He'd slashed his wrist as well just to make sure that he was dead
And clever Kelly managed not to leave a print upon the knife
That slashed his ulnar artery - from which it's hard to lose your life
And both the paramedics who were present at the scene
Remarked how little blood there was - no doubt his death was clean.
But trust the British Government to clear up any mystery
They never held an inquest to this day - instead, the history
Is this: they got Lord Hutton to investigate the case
He found the BBC were guilty; Blair could save some face
Now many questions still remain we'll never know the truth I fear
Thank Hutton - look him up some time - a whitewash man his whole career
But Norman Baker wrote a very interesting book
And when you're done with that you might read up on Robin Cook
