lyrics

The Girl From The West Country

And never mind, the shame became
Unbearable, repackaged again
Republican, an Elvis fan
He lost his voice and then his man
So critical of modern man
A campfire host with castanets
I knew him before he was gay
And now he’s in my family way

Fears grow for passing eras
That’s a fear I understand
Or could you say he was the girl from the West country?

He crossed the room fully grown
Escaped from our old people’s home
A breach of trust, a promised land
He lost his voice and then his man
But does it matter what you saw
You think you’ve seen it all before
The situation in the corner shop
Was nothing like you’d seen before so

Fears grow for passing eras
That’s a fear I understand
Or could you say he was the girl from the West country?
