"What She Said"

What she said:

"How come someone hasn't noticed

That I'm dead and decided to bury me?

God knows, I'm ready!"

What she said was sad

But then, all the rejection she's had

To pretend to be happy

Could only be idiocy

What she said was not for the job or

Lover that she never has

What she read, all heady books

She'd sit and prophesise

It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead

To really, really, really open her eyes

What she read, all heady books

She'd sit and prophesise

It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead

To really, really open her eyes

What she said:

"I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an early death

And I need to cling to something!"

What she said:

"I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an early death

And I need to cling to something!"
