R.I.P. John Peel with his wit so gay
R.I.P. John Peel on this sad sad day
R.I.P. John Peel now he's far away
And we're all left sad & in mourning

For the sound of his music brought me from my teens
to present day time and Home Truths it seems
John's now gone, cant believe he's dead
And we'll not hear him Saturday mornings

Yes I loved John Peel and his voice too
And the music he played for four decades true
From The Fall to T Rex
and the Sex Pistols too
In Peru he did die - we're in mourning

Then here's to John Peel with my heart and soul
Let's drink to his life
And his wit of gold
We'll miss John Peel - his loss leaves a big hole
And we're all left sad and in mourning.
