Such a pretty girl - the anger didn't hide it ..did it? |
| You shaved you head, pulled a face |
| Dressed yourself up without grace |
| It didn't hide a lifetime's damage |
| It didn't hide a lifetime's fears |
Against your better judgement |
| 'Put your whole self up for sale |
| The horror show when you were young |
| We couldn't wait to hear about it |
But even whores don't kiss with tongues |
| Nonetheless I do believe you cried real tears |
Real tears for sale! |
| Real tears for sale |
| Real tears for sale |
| Real tears, real tears for sale! |
The wrong side of a lifetime's drinking |
| Is where it seems I'm coming from |
| I took my demons by the hand |
| Bent them, twisted them until they scanned and rhymed |
| And I took your love and all the hurt inside |
| Laid it out on the market stall |
| Agony at a knock-down price |
| Reduced to clear! is what I cried |
The wrong side of a lifetime's wishful thinking |
| Drove me here to pills and ale |
| Come and listen, come and listen to my tale |
Come and get it. Come and get it. |
