She stole a bat from the convenience store
went home and showed it to him, and this is how the story goes
She had enough and swung away
and then a couple more to kill the pain
Now you're not so strong with that crack in your head
Never play a girl that way
Just grabbed her coat and ran away
leaving that hell for them to clean
Just saw the rope and ran away
her sweet neck won't hang today
The girl's freezing, winter's cold and rough
forced to hit the road and ran away
Now he's just a ghost who can't get his way, way, way.
He's cold and dead
Just saw the rope and ran away
her sweet neck won't hang today
Lil runaway
sit down and rest
sometimes love turns to hate
poor lil girl raised in hell
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
