Do you really have to live in Londan?
But sometimes you really have to go quite far away
Yeah, I mean she did live 'round the corner
We didn't really hang around that much
But basically I use to see her all the time
'Cause I lived 'round there
And then, all of a sudden I didn't see her very much
And then I found out
... She probably could'a been anything
Not everything she had
But didn't have it bad
Middle class, Nice house
Not rich, but not poor
That's from the outside
Don't know about behind closed doors
Must'a been something
She never really had much identity
Parent's had views about
How her life was meant to be
She was trying to escape from that
Rebelling against what she thought was holding her back
Must've felt trapped inside her mothers way of bein'
Tired of trying to fulfill her Fathers dreamin'
Or maybe she just wanted to belong
Adolescent problems
Same old song
Time and again
And back then
It was some sort of trend
To dress up scruffy
Hang about with the homeless men
Black like you're one of them
But she weren't needy
Used to beg in the day
And go back home to her T.V and P.C
And ease her ways
Parents didn't care at first
They just called it a phase
Which it was, she played both sides of the fence
Bumped a few lessons each week to spend with her new friends
And all day at weekends and live in pretense
But changing with every experience
Serious relationships
Now becoming Tense
And all of this
At an age where she was learning 'bout sex
Innocence, influenced the same as her heart
Parents they cared now
But it was too late to start
She felt she wasn't loved so
Arguements sparked and anger
leaded them to heated remarks
It took 9 months to make her
14 years to raise her
1 arguement to lose her
After 6 months that changed her
She left
And never looked back
And when she did it was with hate
And now she really knew trapped
Really knew about poverty?(Knew more then the black?)?
And really knew about strugglin'
And really knew about scat
A new depression
A new addiction
Knew about mistakes
And knew she should've listened
Don't know how to change
Know she probably can't
She don't herself no more
So she don't know where to start
So I take the pain and put it in a song
Life is a
