Ladies and gentlemen… the plot thickens…
And the face in the dock doesn’t match the pictures.

Who killed Ann?
The man in the dock looks nothing like the plan.
Shaven head in court, longer hair on the tape,
Drive times that don’t add up, what a state.
Police said “this is him” with a straight face grin,
Now he stands there looking like a different man.

Is it the same man? Is it a double?
Or just another chapter in the national muddle?

Who killed Ann?
Who killed Ann this time?
The pictures don’t match, the story’s a crime.
Who killed Ann?
Who killed Ann today?
The face in the dock looks a million miles away!

Two-fifty miles in a handful of hours,
Stick in his pocket and a trail of powers.
Non-political one day, terrorist the next,
Far-right arrests that leave the public perplexed.
None of them charged, the story goes quiet,
While we stare at the silence and the latest riot.

Is it the same man? Is it a double?
Or just another chapter in the national muddle?

Who killed Ann?
Who killed Ann this time?
The pictures don’t match, the story’s a crime.
Who killed Ann?
Who killed Ann today?
The face in the dock looks a million miles away!

Columbo would have noticed, Morse would have scowled,
The Sweeney would’ve kicked the door in and howled.
But here we are again with the same old farce,
A face that doesn’t match and a case falling apart.

Who killed Ann?
Who killed Ann this time?
The pictures don’t match, the story’s a crime.
Who killed Ann?
Who killed Ann today?
The face in the dock looks a million miles away!

Who killed Ann…
Who killed Ann…
The face doesn’t match…
The face doesn’t match…
