Lyrics

[00:10.01] Stepping out onto the stage the smalltown star tonight
[00:14.42] Flexes out for fame and fortune into the lights
[00:19.29] The way she tears into the heart makes me realise
[00:23.69] That I never understood hatred until I looked into those eyes
[00:28.22] She cries no one's going to talk down to me again
[00:32.99] No one's ever going to patronise me again
[00:37.42] I'm going to get out of this town steal myself a crown
[00:41.70] I'm going to get myself some power
[00:43.91] If it's the last thing that I do
[00:47.66]
[01:05.06] Heading out of bradford with a ticket on the train
[01:09.22] And a faith as hard as steel and as sharp as any pain
[01:13.71] Gets pictures in the papers smiling oh so good
[01:18.05] While she lies in bed with racing dreams hot as blood
[01:22.26] Because love will make you happy and love will keep you warm
[01:27.47] And love will build a cushion to keep you safe from harm
[01:31.90] But hate will drive you onwards yeah hate will drive you upwards
[01:36.24] Till you can get back all the bastards
[01:38.46] Who ever tried who ever tried to put you down
[01:44.27]
[02:01.64] And when she's gone forever please don't lay her down to rest
[02:05.98] In a quiet little churchyard along with all the rest
[02:10.44] Throw a great big party to remember that she lived
[02:14.84] Give her headlines on the TV to remember who she is
[02:19.33] Cause no one's ever going to talk down to her again
[02:24.17] No one's ever going to patronise her again
[02:28.60] She's going to get out of this town steal herself a crown
[02:32.94] She's going to get herself some power
[02:35.36] If it's the last thing the last thing that she does
[02:42.24]
[02:44.33] If it's the one thing that she does
[02:49.32] If it's the only thing that she ever does
[02:55.32]
