Dirty Magazine |
A cut-out picture of a sugar tart |
With olive skin, a purple heart |
Concrete shoes, and it’s just the start |
Of bigger things unseen |
Heroes of our glory days |
Ride upon the hip-hoorays |
Of hometown girls who’ve been displayed |
In dirty magazines |
«And what am I supposed to do with you?» |
Just tell me everything I’ve heard before |
Like it was news |
The miners strike, hold out for love |
We bust their heads, push and shove |
By helmet light, we rise above |
And say, «look out below!» |
They’re such a grim, romantic crew |
Swear they won’t forget but do |
It leaves them free to cry anew |
At every song we know |
«And what am I supposed to do with you?» |
Just tell me everything I want to hear |
Like it was true |
Sometimes I wish that I was king |
And held the end of every string |
The fear, the prize, the mortal sting |
Of what will come of this |
For now I’ll let all chance unwind |
To keep our secret hearts entwined |
And if I choose to see this as a ign |
It surely is |
«And what am I supposed to do with you?» |
Just tell me everything I’ve heard before |
Like it was news |
