With the red scrunchie for her birthday gift
She scrapes her hair into a Croydon facelift
Punch drunk love at sweet 16
She thumbs a ride to Gretna Green
Leaving something old for somewhere new
To be with someone battered, black and blue
She turns out her light with a song to sing
Grabs her shoulder bag and her Argos ring
And she says
Without a penny, in my pocket
I’m out of luck in this kind of town
But I’ve got you right by my side
So I won’t let them drag me down
He turned from Jack the lad into Jack the dad
His heart was pure but the town was bad
He had a broken heart from a broken home
She heard his breaking voice through a broken phone
He said «For you girl I’d walk a Swedish mile
For a Glasgow kiss and a Chelsea smile»
So he drove til it was morning light
And the birds will sing him to sleep tonight
And he says
Without a penny, in my pocket
I’m out of luck in this kind of town
But I’ve got you right by my side
So I won’t let them drag me down
the meaning of this song is purely whatever you wish. thats what music is at the end of the day. emotion. so dont question it just embrace it and use it.
