Bare Knuckle Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Carrie Askew & Jacqui Blake] Suicide bomber All dressed up like Madonna And they say she's really cute But inverted commas And her skin is so pale She's broken all her nails And she spent all her life Just going off the rails [Pre-Chorus: Carrie Askew & Jacqui Blake] She hooks with her left And she jabs with her right And she's always up ahead And she splashes it all over on a Saturday night (B-b-b—) [Chorus: Carrie Askew & Jacqui Blake] Bare-knuckle girl The champion of the world You ain't goin' anywhere Drifting in and out of care Bare-knuckle baby Your life ain't such a whirl You'll look funny when you're forty Bare-knuckle girl [Verse 2: Carrie Askew & Jacqui Blake] Her eyes look amazing Like a sheet of double glazing And her blank expression Says she's well beyond saving Her lips are cherry red Like the blood in her bed Which is propped up by books That she stole, but never read [Pre-Chorus: Carrie Askew & Jacqui Blake] She hooks with her left And she jabs with her right And she's always up ahead And she really likes to mix it on a Saturday night (B-b-b—) [Chorus: Carrie Askew & Jacqui Blake] Bare-knuckle girl The champion of the world You ain't goin' anywhere Drifting in and out of care Bare-knuckle baby Your life ain't such a whirl You'll look funny when you're forty Bare-knuckle girl [Verse 3: Jacqui Blake & Carrie Askew] (B-b-b—) Boulder on her shoulder And she walks like a soldier And she's out for the world The bare-knuckle girl And the world owes her living But the world ain't forgiving And she spent all her life Just a-punching and a-kicking [Pre-Chorus: Carrie Askew & Jacqui Blake] She hooks with her left And she jabs with her right And she's always up ahead And she splashes it all over on a Saturday night (B-b-b—) [Chorus: Carrie Askew & Jacqui Blake] Bare-knuckle girl The champion of the world You ain't goin' anywhere Drifting in and out of care Bare-knuckle baby Your life ain't such a whirl You'll look funny when you're forty Bare-knuckle girl [Outro: Carrie Askew & Jacqui Blake] Bare-knuckle girl Bare-knuckle girl (B-b-b—)
