Boggo road

A girl saved me

In a previous life 

An escapee from boggo road 

 

She hid in the vice

Of the city lights 

Where she wouldn't be exposed 

 

She was a tough cookie 

Compared to her I had little sin

 

But we got on

Both on fire

Dartboards for the pin 

 

I worked the days 

She worked the nights 

 

Our lifestyle was expensive 

 

I could hardly fight 

My Innocence was my might

 

Without it I was defenceless 

 

An Italian grocer

Was counting a large wad of cash

 

She gave me a look

That said

Grab it an make a dash

 

I ignored her and bought some grapes 

 

The grapes were sweet but not to her taste 

 

He was ready for a punk like me

 

I read it in his eyes

 

He would have broken my legs 

 

If I was lucky 

 

And flicked me like a flee 

 

I think back on my past

 

The times I was dead 

 

She saved me once

 

I am grateful that

 

 

I never lost my head.
