Cover art for Bad lyrics by Kirsty MacColl

I love the lyrics to this song! I don't think, though, that the 'proper' version of it is half as good as the acoustic recording.

I think the meaning is pretty self-explanatory really, and I imagine a lot of women empathise with the sentiment whole-heartedly (even if most would never admit it!).

I really like all the word-play used. For example, the way 'token' is used in the first and second lines and then the way it's used in the third. And I particularly like "I'm not crazy, no I'm just mad".

Short and punchy.
