Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Joey puts her make-up on really well She looks cool in the flashing lights And all the boys gossip about the shape of her legs On these muddled up and drunken nights And if it's all got to end up between the sheets She can coo like a virgin dove But really she just doesn't want to be alone And if you want you can call that love M6 southbound roadside cafe on a wild wet and windy night There's a kid in a sleeping bag huddled in a corner, trying to beg a light He's got mum and dad tattooed on his arm From when he thought that that would make it alright He's got hope and fear on his young boy's face Another innocent taking flight, saying Give me some place that I can go Where I don't have to justify myself Swimming out alone against this tide Looking for family looking for tribe They said go, get out, we've got our own lives to lead Now that water is thicker than blood And every house is divided into single flats With their very own little welcome rug The shopping mall it is teeming with life Fighting for the goodies on the shelf But there's those funny old people on the escalators Talking to themselves, saying Give me some place that I can go Where I don't have to justify myself Swimming out alone against this tide Looking for family looking for tribe Well I survive on my own for a while or so Upon a whim or a bottle of wine Just trying to make sense of these new surroundings I only changed my name a couple of times Please take me back Joey, I'm really sorry Can we try to make a happy home? But she's gone with someone else and they're starting a family Trying for a clan of their own, so Give me some place that I can go Where I don't have to justify myself Swimming out alone against this tide Looking for family looking for tribe
