Heavenly

I spotted you out in a bad place 

Pock marks and scars 

Painted on your face 

Talked to me, charmed me 

Bought me a Bacardi 

Asked please to walk me home 

 

We met in a bad place 

I spotted your face 

Because of the scar 

It went right down across your cheek 

Made you look scary 

I guess you are 

 

My sister's face fell to the gutter 

You can't be going 

Out with that nutter 

Thought she'd know better 

Daddy's girl, bed-wetter 

I didn't hear a word 

 

Don't bring trouble to our home 

The words that my mother said 

I blush thinking of the time 

We sullied my parents' bed 

I don't want that boy round here 

Added my father then 

No more going out for you 

If I see his face again 

 

We carried on dating 

You said you'd waited 

So long for this chance 

It seems I misunderstood you 

Foolishly thought that 

You meant romance 

 

My brother came back from his travels 

And this is where 

The story unravels 

It seems that you've been enemies 

Since your teens 

Oh what a fool I've been 

 

Don't bring trouble to our home 

The words that my mother said 

Please don't say I told you so 

I'm wishing he was dead 

I don't want that boy round here 

Added my father then 

No more need to worry dad 

You won't see that boy again 

 

What did you think when you held me 

And gently kissed my face 

All of the time acting 

Playing out your vendetta game 

It's all there in your scar 

Just how brutal you are 

 

(Cathy sings her first verse, backing up Amelia in this verse) 

I spotted you out in a bad place 

Pock marks and scars 

Painted on your face 

Talked to me, charmed me 

Now you you just alarm me 

I won't be fooled again 

I won't be fooled again 

I won't be fooled again
