SHE’S GONE
She had the world at her feet, born with a silver spoon in her mouth Her dad was in the world of entertainment, never struggled to eat Lived on a street paved with trees in a detached home Had her own car when she was sixteen and three mobile phones The fridge was never empty, her friends were over friendly The kind of life that people would kill for but evidently The smile on her face was painted on, she wasn’t happy Dad was never home; her mum was alcoholic and too snappy One day she packed her bags and left home without no warning In search of a better life, her hell began the next morning Went to get something to eat to return to find the car was stolen Minutes later she was mugged and left on the streets heartbroken Her phones were taken, her purse, the keys to the house, her credit cards Till now I don’t think she realized how life could be so harsh She begs for twenty pence so she can phone her mum But she ain’t home now she realizes she’s all alone.
Chorus: She chose this road, hopelessly broke Can’t see her way through the smoke, addicted to coke A slave to this bloke suffocating her hopes It’s hard to cope and far from a joke
She’s young, well presented, vibrant and a fine looker Some guy accidentally mistakes her for a hooker She’s stranded on the streets and falls asleep on the pavement And wakes up at the feet of this guy who claims he can save her She’s naïve, sheltered from the badness in the world He tells her what she wants to hear and she believes every word He takes her back to his and provides her with shelter while she’s homeless Feeds her and she don’t have to pay him, that’s the bonus Five weeks later his situation’s changed He’s got to pay some extra cash for things that weren’t arranged He tells her he can make her rich with him as her pimp If she sells her body for cash, she’s cool with that, she’s down with him One thing leads to another so now she’s pregnant for the man When she tells him, he beats her up; says he don’t give a damn He says she owes him, he owns her, she’s too scared to respond She cries herself to sleep wishing she was back at home with her mum
Chorus:
Time elapses, she’s depressed, the pain increases She’s at the lowest she’s ever been looking for something to release this Lost all contact with her family, she turns to drugs All she wants is to see her mum again and get a couple of hugs The man’s destroyed her spirit, ripped out her heart She ain’t a nice girl no more, she’s bruised and scarred Verbally she’s abusive; mentally she’s out of her mind Physically she’s dangerous, but can’t this coz she’s blind And she moves further and further away from the better memories Drowns herself in her sorrows while listening to bitter melodies And any songs the radio plays she recollects from her time With her mum and dad she just can’t bear to listen to Smokes and drinks, sells her body for material things Living in the land of the lost and accepting all the shit it brings She’s been abandoned, walking the streets of Camden Watching the normal people but now she doesn’t understand them.
