Cuckoo Madame

With your teddy bear eye

Yellow fingers clinging to the chain link fence.

Bombers above you.

Bombers behind you.

Disapproval hounds you

Ugly rumour surrounds you.

Solitary madam

We never understood you

Never told us of your battle

With the cuckoo baby blues.

Cuckoo Madame

It's no wonder you're shy.

You're Greta Garbo

You're the witch of Salem.

You're anti-social and

You are too bloody lonely

For the likes of us.

We never knew of your battle

With the cuckoo baby blues.

When you saw that egg crack

It froze your blood.

You knew you had to fly then

Had to say goodbye

Had to fly before you saw another mother

Feed your chick.

You knew it would break your heart.

You knew it would break your heart.
