Maccoll Kirsty - Free World lyrics

rate me

(Kirsty MacColl)

I thought of you when they closed down the school

And the hospital too

Did they think that you were better?

They were wrong

You had so many friends

They all left you in the end

'Cause they couldn't stand the patter

And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again

Women and children united by a struggle

Going down

You've got to walk into the water

With your sister and your daughter

In this free world

If I wore your shades could I share your point of view?

Could I make you feel better?

Paint a picture, write a letter?

Well I know what you're saying

But I see the things you do

And it's much too dangerous

To get closer to you

And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again

Women and children united by the struggle

Going down

With a pocketful of plastic

Like a dollar on elastic

In this free world

(I wouldn't tell you if I didn't care)

And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again

Women and children united by the struggle

And the ghettoes are full of Mercedes Benz

And you'd never hurt a friend

Who wouldn't tell you

It's cold and it's going to get colder

You may not get much older

You're much too scared of living

And to die is a reliable exit

So you push it and you test it

With 'Thunderbird' and 'Rivin'

And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again

Women and children united in the struggle

In this free world baby

Got to take it got to grab it

Got to get it up and shag it

In this free world

Going down

You've got to get into the water

Like a lamb goes to the slaughter

In this free world baby

Going down

With a pocketful of plastic

Like a dollar on elastic

In this free world

(I wouldn't tell you if I didn't care)
