She's Not Dead Lyrics
She'll come to her end
Locked in a car somewhere
With exhaust in her hair,
What's she called?
I dunno,
She's fucking with a slip of a man
While the engine ran
And he said
"She's not dead, she's gone away, gone away" he said
He said
"She's not dead, just go away go away" he said
In the car he couldn't afford
They found his made up name
On her ankle chain,
So don't call,
Don't call her at home,
She's fucking with a slip of a man
While the engine ran
And he said
"She's not dead, she's gone away gone away" he said
He said
"She's not dead, she's gone away gone away" he said
"Just gone away gone away" he said
She's gone away to someone else's bed.
This song really does have an amazing back story. It concerns Brett's aunt. Brett said: "I was pretty young at the time. She had this lover and he was black and Hayward's Heath is a small town and in the early '80s I guess it was very taboo. And basically they committed joint suicide together. They drove a car into a garage and just turned the exhaust on and killed themselves."
It's called 'Love and Poison':
It's very good!
Yeah, I read that too - that biography's great, isn't it?
I never thought of the song in the same way again after that. I love the image of death as "gone away to someone else's bed". Sends shivers up my spine!
What biography? I wanna read it
Amazing , thanks for the info.
