Lyrics for 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!"
