Power Over Men

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro: Florence Bell] In the square, I waited for you Trick, trick, trick [Verse 1: Jamie T] She's the eye of the storm born in the city I live Her vanity's dressed up as virtue In brogue shoes, in art schools with tattoos upon the skin She used to make do, but now she makes men Fall at her feet, weak, their tongues leak They try to stop talking 'cause now they don't make any sense [Pre-Chorus: Jamie T] She was never academic And she couldn't draw a thing [Chorus: Jamie T] But she had power over men She had power over men She had power over— [Verse 2: Jamie T] So I drove to the bar, now I'm sipping on gin I stare into space as the place seemed to get That little bit of something it was missing as she walked in I could say she looked good, I could say she's just a friend But that would just be me throwing you off the scent She's everything an understatement has, she's under my skin [Pre-Chorus: Jamie T] Like an anaesthetic You'll never feel a thing [Chorus: Jamie T] 'Cause she had power over men She had power over men She had power over [Bridge: Jamie T] But as with any gift, there's always a twist She can never really kiss, 'cause there's never a risk Like if you never lost, you can never really win It's the burden and a cost of a power over Men [Chorus: Jamie T] She had power over men She had power over men She had power over men She had power over men She had power over men She had power over
