Poison Girls - Feeling the Pinch lyrics

Like a crow on a motorway Picking at scabs Sees red when a blackleg Drives past in a cab Like men in blue suits With their sticks in their hands And their feathers in their caps Like fighting for blackstuff Like staying alive Like a union of crows Their funds bled dry And bossmen in Lorries Are crossing the line It's only real when it hurts You can trust when it hurts You know now it's been Feeling the pinch Wakes up from a dream Trust how it hurts Trust what you feel Feeling the pinch Wakes you up Like a crow on barbed wire We're the enemy within Like an unanswered phone call Where running again Like a picking bone There's a hook in your brain….. Like a ghost town valley Like duct on a sheet Like a cold empty shop On a cold empty street Like the crowd gathers round When the ambulance screams Your only real when you bleed.
