Sheepskin Tearaway

She opened her heart

To a tearaway (sheepskin tearaway)

He was covered in scars

And full of heroin

Everyone said from the start

Not one single thing could ever be ok

She didn't listen anyway...

She just opened her heart

Threw her cares away

At night he held her so tight in the dark

He brushed her hair away

She heard him say:

-"All my life I've been fighting

And making the best of

A really very bad lot, very bad lot, very, very bad lot indeed"

-"All you're fighting got you nowhere

If nowhere's here with you

On my skin

And you could fight forever

But if you killed them all

You'd never win

So give me your surrender

There are other ways

To kill the pain

But this will never mend you

It's like trying to dry your eyes in the pouring rain"

She opened her heart

To a tearaway (sheepskin tearaway)

All covered in scars

And full of heroin

Tearaway, sheepskin tearaway

Sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep

Sheepskin tearaway
