Century Girl Lyrics


Fred Smith Century Girl


I'm gonna have to introduce myself I've got no record company, I produce myself I've been the drummer and I played the bass Now I'm up the front with my pretty little face Kept it together through the leaner years I sang Stormy Weather through the meaner years I've been the sucker of the century Now I'm the f..cker I was meant to be

Born at the turn of the century I landed on the beaches of Gallipoli I stood tall while Wall Street crashed But I never ever had a lot of cash Fought in the trenches of the second war I landed with MacArthur at Corregidor My arse got burned when Saigon fell Re-education was another kind of hell

Century girl I'm checking out Is there much left for us to talk about? I'll call back in from planet Earth The self same child I was upon my birth

And I've been a sailor of the seven seas I was a hippy in the seventies I shot the sheriff and I fought the law I've been the hooker to the whore you know And I've been a Catholic and I been Zen I've been the Buddhist since Christ knows when I've been to Babylon, I've been to Rome Been travelling but now I'm home

Century girl I'm checking out Is there much left for us to talk about? I'll call back in from planet Earth The self same child I was upon my birth

I've seen a bucket load of shit go down I've been the president, I've been the clown I've seen a bucket of futility Don't need to demonstrate virility Still I ain't bitter and I ain't green And I'm feeling fitter than I've ever been I've been the sucker of the century Now I'm the f..cker I was meant to be
