Mad Ole Girl

from Ripples by Lew Bear

/

about

The first track I ever wrote guitar and lyrics for. It also appears on my first album, Done In The Dark, but time had changed it significantly enough for me to record it again

lyrics

From good stock or so they say
And even born on a sunny day
The best start the world could give
Ruined it all by the life she lived

Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl

When she was young she was a beauty queen
But after years of the clubbing scene
Her face is lined her body sags
Fuelled by beer, drugs and fags

Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl

Done it all in her past
But anything good it never lasts
Now she lives off the dole
Getting drunk to save her soul

Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl

Before you think this tale is sad
She always happy always glad
And when you think of what she’s done
Have you had as much fun
But all the folks, they all still say
Yeah all the folks, they all still say

Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
Mad ole girl mad ole girl propping up the bar she’s a mad ole girl
