State Hospital |
The half-backflip conception, state hospital birth |
The most threadbare, tall story the country has ever heard |
Brought home to breath smoke in the arms of her mother |
The blunt kitchen knife who just lays in a submissive position |
Beneath a national weight and the slow arc of a fist |
Her heart beats like a breezeblock thrown down the stairs |
Her blood is thicker than concrete forced to be brave |
She was born into a grave |
And in the limp through years of bored schooling |
She’s accustomed to hearing that she could never run far |
A slipped disc in the spine of community |
A bloody curse word in a pedestrian verse |
Spirits in graveyards and fingers in car parks |
She cries on the high street just to be heard |
A screaming anchor for nothing in particular |
At the foot of the fuck of it dragging her heels in the dirt |
Her heart beats like a breezeblock thrown down the stairs |
Her blood is thicker than concrete forced to be brave |
She was born into a grave |
The cheek of youth flashed red and turned green |
Now she lies on the pavement, she is helped to her feet |
All thighs, hair and magpie handbags |
Saturday’s uniform for the ‘fuck me' parade |
Brought home to keep warm in the arms of a plumber |
Ruddy and balding who just needs a spine to dig into |
A chest for the head and a hand for the holding |
Her heart beats like a breezeblock thrown down the stairs |
Her blood is thicker than concrete forced to be brave |
She was, she was |
Her heart beats like a breezeblock thrown down the stairs |
Her skin is thicker than concrete forced to be brave |
She was, she was |
A broken elevator anthem held between floors |
But if blood is thicker than concrete |
All is not lost |
All is not lost |
All is not lost |
All is not lost |
All is not lost |
