Shelia

Sheila goes out with her mate Stella
Gets poured all over her fella
‘Cause she says, "Man he ain't no better
Than the next man kicking up fuss".

Drunk, she stumbles down by a river
Screams calling "London"
None of us heard her coming
I guess the carpet weren't rolled out.

Oh when my love, my darling
You've left me here alone
I'll walk the streets of London
Which once seemed all our own.

The vast suburban churches
Together we have found
The ones which smelt of gaslight
The ones in incense drowned.

Her lingo went from the Cockney to the Gringo
Anytime she sing a song the other girls sing along
And tell all the fellas that the lady is single
Fickle way ta tickle on my young man's tipple.

She's up for doing what she like, any day, more like the night
She drowned drunk sorrows, that she stole, bought, borrowed
She didn't like thugs but at the same time understood
Fella's will be fella's 'til the end of time.

Good heavens you boys
Blue-blooded murder of the English tongue.

Jack had a gang that he called the Many Grams
He was known as Smack Jack the Cracker Man
In life he was dealt some shit hands
But the boys' got the back now.

And Jay went the same way as Micky and Dan
Dependent mans upon the heroin
And man, Lisa had a baby with Sam
And now Jack's on his own man.

Well done, Jack, glug down that cider
You're right, she's a slut and you never fucking liked her
Not like, what, he stopped so shocked
Cause it turned out the last dance killed the pied piper.

So this a short story about the girl Georgina
Never seen her worse, clean young mess
Under stress, at best but she's pleased to see you
With love, God Bless, we lay her body to rest.

Now it all there started with Daddy's alcoholic
Lightweight, drink it down, numbing his brain
And the doctor said he couldn't get the heart there started
Now beat up, drugged up, she feeling the strain.

She says, “When I fall, no one catch me
Alone, lonely, I'll overdose slowly
Get scared, I'll scream and shout”
But you know it won't matter she'll be passing out.

I said gigidy-bigidy-up, and just another day
Another sad story that's tragedy
Paramedics announced death at 10.30
Rip it up, kick it, spit out the views.
