Lyrics Didn't They? - Erin McKeown

You know my secret
Somebody told you didn't they?
I can tell in your voice
And in the way we are awkward
Mama, what did they say
When they told you my secret anyway?

They say the old heave-ho holds
The old you don't know what to do, what to says
Didn't they?

You in your half-shirt and lies
Me with the half-lit eyes
What a pair
Who would ever suspect?
And could I care for polite when
Mama, I'm as frightened
As a girl with a secret could be

Well, they say the old heave-ho holds
The old you don't know what to do, what to says
Didn't they?
Didn't they?
