Sheila Lyrics

Sheila goes out with her mate Stella Gets poured all over her fella ‘Cause she says, "Man he ain’t no better Than the next man kicking up fuss"
Drunk, she stumbles down by a river Screams calling "London" None of us heard her coming I guess the carpet weren’t rolled out
Oh when my love, my darling You've left me here alone I'll walk the streets of London Which once seemed all our own
The vast suburban churches Together we have found The ones which smelt of gaslight The ones in incense drowned
Her lingo went from the Cockney to the Gringo Anytime she sing a song the other girls sing along And tell all the fellas that the lady is single Fickle way ta tickle on my young man’s tipple
She’s up for doing what she like, any day, more like the night She drowned drunk sorrows, that she stole, bought, borrowed She didn’t like thugs but at the same time understood Fella’s will be fella’s 'til the end of time
Good heavens you boys Blue-blooded murder of the English tongue
Jack had a gang that he called the Many Grams He was known as Smack Jack the Cracker Man In life he was dealt some shit hands But the boys' got the back now
And Jay went the same way as Micky and Dan Dependent mans upon the heroin And man, Lisa had a baby with Sam And now Jack’s on his own man
Well done, Jack, glug down that cider You’re right, she’s a slut and you never fucking liked her Not like, what, he stopped so shocked Cause it turned out the last dance killed the pied piper
Sheila goes out with her mate Stella Gets poured all over her fella ‘Cause she says, "Man he ain’t no better Than the next man kicking up fuss"
Drunk, she stumbles down by a river Screams calling "London" None of us heard her coming I guess the carpet weren’t rolled out
So this a short story about the girl Georgina Never seen her worse, clean young mess Under stress, at best but she’s pleased to see you With love, God Bless, we lay her body to rest
Now it all there started with Daddy’s alcoholic Lightweight, drink it down, numbing his brain And the doctor said he couldn’t get the heart there started Now beat up, drugged up, she feeling the strain
She says, “When I fall, no one catch me Alone, lonely, I'll overdose slowly Get scared, I’ll scream and shout” But you know it won’t matter she’ll be passing out
I said gigidy-bigidy-up, and just another day Another sad story that's tragedy Paramedics announced death at 10.30 Rip it up, kick it, spit out the views
Sheila goes out with her mate Stella Gets poured all over her fella ‘Cause she says, "Man he ain’t no better Than the next man kicking up fuss"
Drunk, she stumbles down by a river Screams calling "London" None of us heard her coming I guess the carpet weren’t rolled out
Sheila goes out with her mate Stella Gets poured all over her fella ‘Cause she says, "Man he ain’t no better Than the next man kicking up fuss"
Drunk, she stumbles down by a river Screams calling "London" None of us heard her coming I guess the carpet weren’t rolled out
