Those lyrics aren't quite right.

She opened her heart To a tearaway, (sheepskin tearaway) Was covered in scars And full of heroin Everyone said from the start Not one single thing, could ever be OK She didn't listen any way...

She just opened her heart Threw her cares away Like they held him so tight in the dark He brushed her hair away She heard him say "All my life I've been fighting And making the best of And with a very bad lot, very bad lot, very, bad lot indeed"

"All your fighting got you nowhere If nowhere's here with you On my skin And you could fight forever But if you kill them all You'd never win So give me your surrender There are other ways To kill the pain But this will never mend you It's like trying to dry your eyes in the pouring rain"

She opened her heart To a tearaway, (sheepskin tearaway) All covered with scars And full of heroin

Tearaway, sheepskin tearaway Sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep Sheepskin tearaway
