Richard Thompson
A Bone Through Her Nose
[Verse 1]
Oh, the drones on the corner don't look her in the eye
When she comes out to play
And three times now at the Club Chi-Chi
They've turned her away
Last week she was the belle of the ball
But another week passes
It's time to cast off crutches, scars
And pebble glasses

[Chorus]
She's got everything a girl might need
She's a tribal animal, yes indeed
But she hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose
Hasn't got a bone through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose
Hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose

[Verse 2]
Oh, she gets her suits from a personal friend
Coco the clown
She got dustman's jacket, inside out
It's a party gown
If it's bouffons, she's got bouffons
If it's tat she got tat
She got hoochie coochie Gucci
And a pom-pom hat
[Chorus]
She's got everything a girl might need
She's a tribal animal, yes indeed
But she hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose, no

[Verse 3]
Well, her ma writes cook books, she wrote one once
And it sold one or two
Her pa's in the city, he's so witty
He calls it the zoo
Her boyfriend plays in Scritti Politti
Aunt Sally's brown bread
In a few more years she can marry some fool
And knock it on the head

[Chorus]
She's got everything a girl might need
She's a tribal animal, yes indeed
But she hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose
She hasn't got a bone through her nose
She hasn't got a (Bone)
Oh she hasn't got a (Bone through her)
Oh
