Xiu Xiu
Falkland Rd.
[Verse 1]
There was never a chance to get away
When was it only ever but perverse?
Why could they take a stone and break your arms?
There could be nothing worse
Except to live

[Chorus]
Live little girl
Sold in slavery
Twenty-five men
Have their way in you
Burned upon the breast
With a cigarette
Nothing is worse than to be born and live

[Verse 2]
There was someone at home you cared about
When was there anyone who cared for you?
Why could they take a spoon and break your teeth?
There could be nothing worse
Except to live

[Chorus]
Live blighted girl
Sold in slavery
Twenty-five men
Have their way in you
Burned upon the feet
With a cigarette
[Outro]
Earth has lost and lost its youth
Tomorrow, tomorrow will be no happy day
You will die and die at Falkland Road
Your ashes will reek of sweat
