  • Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore

  • And I'm young and I'm strong

  • But I feel old and tired

  • Overfired

  • And I've been poked and stoked

  • It's all smoke, there's no more fire

  • Only desire

  • For you, whoever you are

  • For you, whoever you are

  • You say my time here has been some sort of joke

  • That I've been messing around

  • Some sort of incubating period

  • For when I really come around

  • I'm cracking up

  • And you have no idea

  • No idea how it feels to be on your own

  • In your own home

  • with the fucking phone

  • And the mother of gloom

  • In your bedroom

  • Standing over your head

  • With her hand in your head

  • With her hand in your head

  • I will not pretend

  • I will not put on a smile

  • I will not say I'm all right for you

  • When all I wanted was to be good

  • To do everything in truth

  • To do everything in truth

  • Oh I wish I wish I wish I was born a man

  • So I could learn how to stand up for myself

  • Like those guys with guitars

  • I've been watching in bars

  • Who've been stamping their feet to a different beat

  • To a different beat

  • To a different beat

  • I will not pretend

  • I will not put on a smile

  • I will not say I'm all right for you

  • When all I wanted was to be good

  • To do everything in truth

  • To do everything in truth

  • You bloody mother fucking asshole

  • Oh you bloody mother fucking asshole

  • Oh you bloody mother fucking asshole

  • Oh you bloody mother fucking asshole

  • Oh you bloody mother fucking asshole

  • Oh you bloody...

  • I will not pretend

  • I will not put on a smile

  • I will not say I'm all right for you

  • For you, whoever you are

  • For you, whoever you are

  • For you, whoever you are

Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore
