lyrics

She’s independent with her eyes on the prize.
She can see through any hard won disguise.
Her only make up is the story that she tells.

Not much to speak of is her own.
Most of her opinions are out on loan.
If she doesn’t buy it, she certainly won’t sell.

She made a fortune playing kookie,
known for her generosity.
Never mind the width, feel the quality,
her honesty’s hard to believe.
She isn’t you, she isn’t me.
Who knows who she could be.

You can hear her going why, why why?
Why can’t you just let things breathe?
You can hear her going sigh, sigh, sigh,
why can’t you see, nothing’s for free, including me.

She’s spiritual without theology,
she’s a psychology degree.
Sees her life as work in progress,
herself philosophically.
What wasn’t is, what isn’t was
is her philosophy.

She’s not two faced, she’s three or four.
Her personality is split to the core.
Take her to Heaven or you can go to Hell.

She’s political without the ideology,
a genius with a small g.
Made her fortune selling cookies
baked her way out of poverty.
She isn’t you, she isn’t me,
who knows who she could be.

Get Physical is my soundtrack to the summer! Slow Cooked and I Like You In Blue are corkers. The vibe is classic indie pop from yore, but with a real nugget of star quality. what's not to like? Gareth Williams
