lyrics

Intro

Verse 1
Intro
I biked the whole island down
to china town today
Men with their fly trap eyes
stuck to my thighs they wait

Pre-chorus 1
For a tire to pop
For the chain to come off
So they can help me up and ask my name

Verse 2
Now I’m one hardened bitch
a scabbed up fist in the air
Mr’s calloused fingertips
gotta deathly grip by the hair

Pre-chorus 2
Always an even score,
Leaving me wanting more
Man, this ugly view looks great from the 30th floor

Chorus 1
I embraced it,
I’m only a kid that’s just tasted
What happiness is and I want it
Again and again from you

Verse 3
Darling are you back in town
cause hangin’ around’s getting old
But I promise you won’t recognise
The bright blue eyes that you hold

Pre-chorus 3
I fear the time and place
Where I might see his face
Three years down the line got nothing to say

And he may preach it so
But I was too young to know
That the life he built would never be my home

Middle eight
Oh home

Chorus 2
I embraced it, I’m on a kid that’s just tasted
What happiness is and I want it
Again and again from you
Again and again from
Again and again x 3

Bridge
Oh divine
This small room will do fine
With a brick wall view
All brand new
The stores will close
but new ones will impose
on these up and coming streets

Chorus 4 (in ¾) till fade out

MilkMaiden London, UK

Inspired by a legacy of ethereal and unhinged women such as Kate Bush, Fiona Apple, and Amanda Palmer, MilkMaiden leeches her influences from the theatrical, raunchy and grunge. A firm believer in laughing in the face of the enemy and everything silly, she is a playful rage worth seeking out. ... more
