about

'No formal education could buy her experience ...'

lyrics

____________________________________
Sally's taking trouble
with her mascara
teasing out the lashes
of her spiderweb eyes

she lost her independence
when she lost her innocence
no formal education
buys her kind of commonsense
damn the expense

hollow in her heart
she suffers no sensation
dreams of a world apart
dreaming that she can dance
dance like a ballerina

meditation over
that's a car in the drive
standing in the doorway now
there's a desperate man

Rocco snaps his fingers
she's got to pay the price
in return for all those diamonds
he wants a sacrifice

hollow in her heart
she suffers no sensation
dreams of a world apart
dreaming that she can dance
she can dance

he says she's gotta take the DI down
to pillow town
give him everything he wants
and Rocco gets to keep his name out of the frame
Sally you owe me
now it's time to show me

hollow in her heart
she suffers no sensation
dreams of a world apart
dreaming that she can dance
dance like a ballerina

she can dance
she can dance like a ballerina
she can dance
she can dance like a ballerina

Born in south London one lunchtime, two became five, then four, then two, sometimes three.

Now we are four again, one in each corner. As odd and as valid as we ever were.
