Falkland Rd. Lyrics

Xiu Xiu Falkland Rd.

there was never a chance to get away
when was it only ever but perverse
why could they take a stone and break your arms
there could be nothing worse
except to live
live little girl
sold in slavery
twenty-five men
have their way in you
burned upon the breast
with a cigarette
nothing is worse than to be born and live
there was someone at home you cared
when was there anyone who cared for you
why could they a spoon and break your teeth
there could be nothing worse
except to live
live blighted girl
sold in slavery
twenty-five men
have their way in you
burned upon the feet
with a cigarette
earth has lost and lost its youth
tomorrow, tomorrow will be no happy days
you will die and die and falkland road
your ashes will reek of sweat
