i m so proud of u

she found a job changing nappies and washing up our plates
her colleague got depression so she stepped up to take their place
she learnt the ropes quite quickly and she doesn't act a prick
her employer used, abused her then sent her back to tend the sink...

she s off the crack - and she wants her life back
well she s never read the books & she doesn't have the looks
but she s off the crack;
she s off the crack; we shld give er a clap
well she s never heard of Nietzsche, drinks vodka by the litre
but she s off the crack, I'm so proud of you.

her marriage brown down but she didnt miss a beat;
she kept herself going - not with crack but cups of tea
she said i've given up on so much bullshit in my life
i m not afraid to leave now if some bloke treats me like shite...

CHORUS

other people don't respect her can t see the joy she gives
but i ll always bump her fist and give her my best grin
she s waiting on that council house she ll be a granny soon
her daughter crystal's up the duff - a granny at 32!

CHORUS

she s off th hard stuff, she off the rough love,
she s avoiding the pub, making amends with her mum

(a sorry twist in the tail tho...)

so she gets a fone call from her ex, she was at bingo
he s moving back west and he really wants her to know
ol' Bobby is a drinker - he gets nasty after a few
but he wants to see his daughter
she s scared & don t know what to do...

she s back on th crack cos old bobby's back (in town)
now she s on the train to easton her daddy used to beat her
too much blood on the tracks X2

she ll maybe move to stroud for rehab
then maybe she cld turn it around...i m so proud of you.
