Lyrics Falkland Rd. - Xiu Xiu

Falkland Rd.

There was never a chance to get away
When was it only ever but perverse
Why could they take a stone and break your arms
There could be nothing worse
Except to live
Live little girl
Sold in slavery
Twenty-five men
Have their way in you
Burned upon the breast
With a cigarette
Nothing is worse than to be born and live
There was someone at home you cared
When was there anyone who cared for you
Why could they take a spoon and break your teeth
There could be nothing worse
Except to live
Live blighted girl
Sold in slavery
Twenty-five men
Have their way in you
Burned upon the feet
With a cigarette
Earth has lost and lost its youth
Tomorrow, tomorrow will be no happy days
You will die and die at Falkland Road
Your ashes will reek of sweat
