lyrics

©2016 d. wheeler

amy bailey struts into Paris Club dressed for trouble
feels good about boyfriend, wants to go the next level
she's keeping mum and she’s playing it cool
but after a few she blurts out the news, bad idea
a minute later she's come out to cry
desperately searching her bag as drops fall from the sky
and to make matters worse, she's right out of fags
that's when the shots fire from a tinted windows four wheel drive

there's three guys in the front seat
and they’re daring one another
one's got a gun, his mate says "whatever"
oooh
he’s got a gun
oooh

there's so little left of Daisy, she's braver than most
she won't go to a home, she still makes a killer roast (ooh)
she does her own groceries and carries her own bags
she catches the bus, she’s still a pretty darn welcoming host
now she's walking the streets, only stooping slightly
and notices the sun shines a little less brightly
these days, she's happier for global warming
'cos it keeps the bills down and her garden bees swarming
(heh heh)

there's three guys coming
and they're daring each other
one's got a knife
his mate says "whatever"

why, why you goin’ do this for?
why, the hell you doin’ this?
why?

he’s got a knife
why did you have to go
why did they have to take you?
