Spoken intro: Neil Gaiman

A Shamrock Street Production.

lyrics

Tell me the story of an East End girl
Silently she reads the spoken word
Listening to Nico and to Patti Smith
Truth it hits so hard, have you heard

And it's hard to picture you
At Liverpool Street, don't cry
And it's hard to draw you in

And you know
I'll never give in to your lies
You're a someday girl and though
My innocence tainted and I ...
I never loved you

Tell me the story of a Southern boy
Two chords alone but that's a start
Listening to Ian (Dury) and to Robert Smith
Five cartoon cut-outs, is that art?

And it's hard to picture you
At Liverpool Street, don't cry
And it's hard to draw you in

And you know
I'll never give in to your lies
You're a someday girl and though
My innocence tainted and I ...
I never loved you

Melodic gems, arranged with acerbic, sometimes heartfelt observational & lyrical wit - "evokes a lost past" "tunes that mainline into your heart & soul" "wistful melancholy" some say! ... more
