Shall I tell you about my life,

Amid the abuse being hurled?

Because speculation’s rife

I chose to close down the News of the World.

I guess I’ve got everything I need

But nevertheless I want more

What drives me is power and greed

With contacts I have I can scoff at the law.

This Hearing has not been misled

I’ve told you the truth; would I lie?

You can check everything I’ve said

Turn on your TV and tune in to Sky.

               But I’ll cover my tracks with a good plan

               And donate a bit of my wealth

               I don’t say I’m a good man

               And nor does anyone else.

So I’ve told you about my life

A story complete and unfurled

Though I still hang to Sky

I had to sacrifice News of the World.
