Black & Blue - The Selecter

She never really had the chances

That some of the kids she saw showed her

She was rarely asked to dances

Or just afternoon at the pictures in the back row

She thought she had all the answers

Decided to go her own way

Alone in her room on a Friday night

Saw her face in a broken mirror

So black and blue life knocks you about

Black and Blue

So black and blue

Life knocks you about

Black and blue

Feeling so angry

All the minutes tick by

Stuck in one room

Just living a lie

Just another person

To sit in that chair

Someone to talk to

Show that they care

So Black and Blue…

Speaking on the telephone

To her friends she thought she knew so well

But they don’t want to know you

When you’re down and angry, no gossip to tell

Empty words lying on the table

Same response, just run out of fags

Start rolling up the dog ends

Sit waiting for someone to come round

Sit waiting for someone to come round
