I wrote this after watching the first 15 mins of a VH1 show about the Go-Gos.
Lyrics
I was the sinner
You were the saint
I was the painter
You were the paint
You were the thinker
I was the feeler
You were the gambler
I was the dealer
You’re just the British girl
I used to know…
And isn’t it tragic?
You lost the magic
I was dirty
And you were clean
I introduced you
To whole new scene
I worked hard
To rise above
You slipped down
Like a child in the mud
You’re just the British girl
I used to know…
And isn’t it tragic?
You lost the magic
I looked for you
In your church
I took the better
You took the worse
I’d take your place
If I had the chance
But Lord knows
It’s out of my hands
Now you’re the British girl
I wish I knew…
Oh, it’s so tragic
Somehow you lost the magic
