lyrics

ISN’T THAT JUST THE LIFE

The tattoo on my pelvic bone is fading
Fifteen years displayed on the palest skin
A fragile stem topped by a simple blue flower
It has been with me through the darkest of darkening hours

I am gone today but I’ll be here tomorrow,
I’ll trade all of my joy for some of your sorrows,
I’m a sensitive girl but I’m tougher than you,
it has always been this girl who has seen things through,
isn’t that just the life

Suicide mother gave girls spikey acid drink
Children in the street play with brightly coloured looms
We float about in a dream then the war is brought home
McCann troll found dead in a hotel room

I am gone today but I’ll be here tomorrow,
I’ll trade all of my joy for some of your sorrows,
I’m a sensitive girl but I’m tougher than you,
it has always been this girl who has seen things through

Teenager stabbed on bus dies in best friends arms
Disabled work longer hours because they are grateful
Some nights I break I admit I just walk and I cry
But I’m going to change this world before I die

I am gone today but I’ll be here tomorrow, I’ll trade all of my joy for some of your sorrows, I’m a sensitive girl but I’m tougher than you, it has always been this girl who has seen things through

Isn’t that just the life
Isn’t that just the life
Isn’t that just the life
Isn’t that just the life
