What She Said

What she said:
"How come someone hasn't noticed that I'm dead
 And decided to bury me
 God knows, I'm ready"

What she said was sad
But then, all the rejection she's had
To pretend to be happy could only be idiocy

What she said
Was not for the job or lover that she never had

What she read
All heady books she'd sit and prophesise
It took a tattoed boy from Birkenhead to really really open her eyes

What she said:
"I smoke 'cos I'm hoping for an early death
 and I need to cling to something!"
