Livid Festival
Me and Sarah my best friend
Stripy tights and fairy wings
(As safe as safe can be)
We drank the gin we'd snuck in
Danced to Ben Folds Five
I turned around to Sarah
Couldn't see her anywhere
(As safe as safe can be)
Oh, Sarah
I didn't mean to let you down
But you left me on my own, Sarah
Why didn't you scream?
I went to all the stages
And to the St John's stand
The man said: You just missed her
Stay, maybe she'll come back again
I sat and watched the crowds
My father came at midnight
We searched til half past four
I was half hysterical
My father wasn't sure
He called for the police
Oh, Sarah
I didn't mean to let you down
But you left me on my own, Sarah
Why didn't you scream?
Why didn't you shout, Sarah?
I hate it that I let you down
But you left me on my own, Sarah
Why didn't you scream?
Why didn't you shout?
Why didn't you shout?
The next day the sergeant
Found her blue dress in a creek
Her parents were so angry
They put the blame on me
And then a fortnight later
Sarah knocked upon their door
Her mother asked her: Where've you been?
And she said: I don't know
I don't know
I'm not sure
I'm not sure
I can't remember anything at all
Oh, Sarah
I didn't mean to let you down
But you left me on my own, Sarah
Why didn't you scream?
Why didn't you shout, Sarah?
I hate it that I let you down
But you left me on my own, Sarah
Why didn't you scream?
Why didn't you shout?

Festival Livid
Sarah y yo mi mejor amiga
Medias rayadas y alas de hadas
(Tan seguro como seguro puede ser)
Nos bebimos la ginebra que habíamos colado
Bailó a Ben Folds Five
Me di la vuelta a Sarah
No podía verla en ningún lado
(Tan seguro como seguro puede ser)
Oh, Sarah
No quise decepcionarte
Pero me dejaste sola, Sarah
¿Por qué no gritaste?
Fui a todas las etapas
Y a la tribuna de San Juan
El hombre dijo: Acabas de echarla de menos
Quédate, tal vez vuelva otra vez
Me senté y vi a las multitudes
Mi padre vino a medianoche
Buscamos hasta las cuatro y media
Estaba medio histérica
Mi padre no estaba seguro
Llamó a la policía
Oh, Sarah
No quise decepcionarte
Pero me dejaste sola, Sarah
¿Por qué no gritaste?
¿Por qué no gritaste, Sarah?
Odio que te defraudé
Pero me dejaste sola, Sarah
¿Por qué no gritaste?
¿Por qué no gritaste?
¿Por qué no gritaste?
Al día siguiente el sargento
Encontró su vestido azul en un arroyo
Sus padres estaban tan enojados
Me echaron la culpa
Y luego una quincena más tarde
Sarah llamó a su puerta
Su madre le preguntó: ¿Dónde has estado?
Y ella dijo: No lo sé
No lo sé
No estoy seguro
No estoy seguro
No recuerdo nada en absoluto
Oh, Sarah
No quise decepcionarte
Pero me dejaste sola, Sarah
¿Por qué no gritaste?
¿Por qué no gritaste, Sarah?
Odio que te defraudé
Pero me dejaste sola, Sarah
¿Por qué no gritaste?
¿Por qué no gritaste?
