lyrics

She walked into the courtroom
With a half-smile she didn't try to hide
Mini-skirted and HIGH-heeled, clearly up for the fight
Every question they asked her was easily batted aside
Me and my gruesome sidekicks
Weren't sure whether to applaud or to cry
She ran rings round the court and she was just 17
How easy must everything single thing in her life seem?
And I got time – to shake it up

We were picked up and persuaded
With promises of cheap, flat sex and beer
Her ex's birthday party 22 punches for 22 years
My sidekicks shiver as the sweat drips round the clock
The cellar, the hammer, the hoover pipe… dot dot dot
She said "Don't think there's better side of me
To appeal to cos there's not"
Three irregular people sitting in the dock
I caught her eye as she crossed the floor
I felt my heart breaking and then they closed the door
Well I got time – to shake it up
