Mad Sad Lady
Did it really start that way
Were you ever someone other
Or just what we saw today
Did you ever build on beaches
And paddle in the sea
Run free in fields and forests
Falling wildly , grazing knees
Mad Sad Lady
Did you relish being a teen
Did you giggle with your girlfriends
Of unknown things quite obscene
Did you languish in the kissing
And the fondling of your breasts
Did you bite your lip and look away
As his hand slid up your vest
Mad Sad Lady
What was your other life
Were you ever really wanted
Were you ever someone’s wife
Did you hoover in all corners
Was the dinner right on time
Did you chatter to the neighbours
White washing on the line
Mad Sad Lady
Did you see your child’s face
That tiny perfect oval
With your fingers did you trace
Did your whole soul swell with pleasure
Were bedtime stories wild and grand
Did that child feel at their safest
When holding on your hand
Mad Sad Lady
Have you ever wanted more
Were you ever someone's lover
Were you ever someone's whore
Did you fuck with dark abandon
Or was the moaning just a front
Did you ever look him in the eye
As he tantalised your cunt
Mad Sad Lady
Did you ever do them wrong
Did you always have that feeling
That you never quite belonged
Have you loathed behind your laughter
Have you caused another harm
Have you plotted someone's downfall
Behind a smile of charm
Mad Sad Lady
Did you look back at those that stared
Did you hear the people’s laughter
At your clothes, your voice , your hair
Did you stop for one split second
Did you lose your inner voice
And was the world so dead against you
That it left you with no choice?
