Chorus
I’m exhausted and I’m broken
Exhausted and I’m broke
I’m exhausted and I’m broken
Get off my tits.
My tits are like two canon balls
Explosive lumps of flesh and milk
They weigh me down and pull my neck
Like giant knuckles on my chest.
Let me eat and let me sleep
And fucking let me piss in peace
Let me swing my arms around
And have the use of both my hands.
I pull out clumps of hair each day
Down the plug it flows away
Swathes of the stuff on the bathroom tiles
No time to clean, it’ll have to stay.
The torment of the tendons
in my hands, I had no clue
But Mothers Thumb’s the real deal
Bloody hell, who knew?!
Chorus
I’m tender and I’m fragile
Too scared to take a shit
What if I tear apart again
Jesus Chris, that would be it.
I’m a prisoner to the sofa
And I’ve lost what makes me me
Is it true that all I am
Is a mother to my baby.
Chorus
Achieve nothing and survive
Is the moto of the day
This is how it is right now
For how long, I cannot say.
For how long, I cannot say.
For how long, I cannot say.
I’m exhausted…
And I’m broke…
I’m exhausted…
And I’m broken.

I Don't Know How

I don’t know how,
How did we get here?
Where did time go,
No one can tell us
We don’t know,
We don’t know.
Look at us now,
Wrinkles and grey hairs
Don’t you feel old?
Don’t you feel cranky
In your bones,
In your bones.
Pre-chorus
As I look in the mirror
And study all the contours
Of my ageing face
Every line tells a story
Every cell’s been on a journey
And I don’t seem to really, really mind it.
Why don’t we realise
Why don’t we notice
It’s not on the outside
It’s not on the surface
It’s within our hearts
And in our minds.
It’s not superficial
It’s more than a picture
Like a flower or sunset
You don’t tend to judge it
You appreciate it
For what it is.
Pre-chorus
I don’t know how,
How did we get here?
Where did time go,
No one can tell us…

Because I am a Woman
03:19
|

Why did you question my ambitions?
You doubted my drive and my commitment
Is it because I am a woman?
What made you think I didn’t want it?
Was it your dated pre-conceptions?
Is it because I am a woman?
Chorus
And oh, we can, we can, we can!
Yeah, given a chance, a chance.
Are you for real with your man-splainin’?
You’re being so bloody patronisin’
Is it because I am a woman?
I got an opinion, listen to me
Why won’t you take me seriously
Is it because I am a woman?
Chorus
“How does it feel to be a woman in a man’s world?”
I’ll follow my heart and intuition
I won’t be put down by your sexism
It is because I am a woman.
Believe in my self and I will do it
Always dream big, the sky’s my limit
It is because I am a woman.
Chorus
And yeah, we are, we are, we are
Capable of anything!

Chorus
This hormone called love
This hormone called love
Can’t stop thinking of
This hormone called love
Gets you through anything I can think of
This hormone called love
This hormone called love.
When I was a child
I wanted to be
A musician first
Then a mother of three
Now I am both
Am I doing it well?
God only knows
Only time will tell.
Hypnobirthing yeah
I know that I can and my body will.
Oxytocin yeah,
Cwtsh up baby it’s such a thrill!
Chorus
I sing in the night
and I sing in the day
I sing when I work and
I sing when I play
I sing to my baby
to get her to sleep
It’s the only way I know
And it sure works a treat.
