A half empty dream filled with heavy rain
She lent herself out
She moved without shame
Along the street where we lived
All of us, calling out her name
Her grey pleated skirt flying high like a flag
They said she was a loose bitch
She was that cheap looking slag
Slippin' along she couldn't cared less
This was her town, it was her drag
And everybody said
She was blood stained red
Redder than a rage
She was shameless
Starring in a street play
Starring her name
Starring shameless, shameless
She warmed the engines of them leather boys
Played the sex kitten
But they're the ones on all fours
Crawling along pullin' her carriage
Like she was a queen, some Babylonian whore
Back then blondie it was all aces and eights
We was just getting by
Out on that council estate
Our lies were just our dreams
And in our dreams it was always your face
And everybody said
She was blood stained red
Redder than a rage
She was shameless
Starring in a street play
Starring her name
Starring shameless, shameless
That dirty little town
Had a dirty little mind
And dirt was deep, deep in the cracks
She was frayed around the edges
A tall tale at breakfast
A headline always lying on her back
And everybody said
She was blood stained red
Redder than a rage
She was shameless
Starring in a street play
Starring her name
Starring shameless, shameless
