The Change

I used to turn heads in the street

And everyone thought I was sweet

But that was before the change

I used to be eager to please

I’d lie back and say cheese

But that was before the change

.

Now no-one can see me

And nobody needs me

Its freed me to fester and rage

No longer a flower

I fruited and turned sour

But I’ll find my power in the change

.

I used to be courted by men

Who I thought were my friends

But that was before the change

I’d feel distressed and debased

When they spoke to my chest and not my face

But that was before the change

.

When all that counted

Was I fit to be mounted

And made up and made to behave

Now alas I’ve no choice

Might as well raise up my voice

And rejoice in the change

.

La la la la la la la la la la la la

.

Inst’l break

.

Wish I’d known as a girl

What a crone of the world

Understands of her worth

All that sugar and spice

Was an unholy price

For a hole in the earth

.

All that sugar and spice

Was an unholy price

For a hole in the earth

.

Never Ending Love

When my day is done

When all my tears are shed

When solitude is closing

Like a winding sheet around my bed

When lovers have all gone

Never to come again

When life itself abandons me

What will I do then?

.

I’ll see the world has been

Heaven for a fool

I’ll listen for the still small voice

I sang about at school

I’ll know that all things must

Crumble into dust

And in your never ending love

I will put my trust

I’ll have to put my trust

.

Sorry Kid

Your hair is gonna curl

When you see what we did to the world

When it was our turn to play with it

It’s your turn now

.

We got it too hot and the sea got too high

And we tore a little hole in the sky

And we finished the oil and we borrowed the trees

And we’ve gone and lost some songbirds and butterflies and bees

We got it rather dirty and a bit more bloodstained

And we took it all to bits that don’t fit together again

And we wrote our names on the DNA

And we swapped tomorrow for today

.

I’m sorry baby I’m sorry kid

We didn’t mean to do it

But we did

.

We wanted love, we wanted to be free

Instead of love we made pornography

After two world wars we wanted peace

So we put our wars futher east

We wanted to end hunger and poverty

Our credit cards were free

Justice. Equality

.

I’m sorry baby, I’m sorry kid

I wish we could undo what we did

I’m sorry baby, I’m sorry kid

Please undo what we did
