<b>Sheepskin Tearaway</b> by <i>Peter Doherty</i><br />

She opened her heart to a tearaway, sheepskin tearaway

He was covered in scars and full of heroin

Everyone said from the start

Not one single thing could ever be okay

She didn't listen anyway

She just opened her heart, threw her cares away

At night they held on so tight in the dark

He brushed her hair away

She heard him say

All my life I've been fighting

And making the best

[Incomprehensible]

Oh, your fighting got you nowhere

If nowhere's here with you, all I'm asking

And you could fight forever

But if you killed them all, you'd never will

So, give me your surrender

There are other ways to kill a prey

But then it would never mend you

It's like trying to dry your eyes in a pouring rain

She opened her heart to a tearaway, a sheepskin tearaway

All covered in scars and full of heroin

Tearaway, sheepskin tearaway

Sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep

Sheepskin tearaway
