The Girl
Peter O’Doherty
The girl in my life is rare to behold
She is not fat, not skinny and she's not old
The girl in my life goes to work in town
And we go together and lie down
This striking female, this singular lover of the summer sun
Induces me to laugh awhile, even to make rude fun
Though her teeth are sharp and her tongue is barbed
She does not give a thought about life or love
Or subtlety or kissing in the dark or nights alone
Though her teeth are sharp and her tongue is barbed
She does not give a thought about life or love
Or subtlety or kissing in the dark or nights alone
