KIRSTY MACCOLL - Autumngirlsoup lyrics

I'm an autumn girl, flying over london<br>With the trees on fire it looks like home<br>I'm an autumn girl on the endless search for summer<br>Cause I need some love to cook my frozen bones<br>You needed something to get your teeth into<br>And in my voodoo kitchen you said<br>I've got something to show you,<br>It's a recipe handed down from father to son<br>For a thousand years, and it goes with those hot salt tears.<br><br>I'm an autumn girl, crying over london<br>With a heart on fire but no-one home<br>I'm an autumn girl on the endless search for summer<br>Cause I need some love to heat my frozen bones<br><br>Get me on the boil and reduce me<br>To a simmering wreck with a slow kiss<br>To the back of my neck<br>Carve up my heart on a very low flame<br>Separate my feelings then pour them down the drain<br>Close my eyes and sweeten me with lies<br>Pierce my skin with a few well chosen words<br>Now you can stuff me with whatever you've got handy<br>And on a cold grey day a cold grey man will do<br><br>I'm an autumn girl, flying over london<br>With the trees on fire it looks like home<br>I'm an autumn girl on the endless search for summer<br>Cause I need some love to heat my frozen bones<br><br>So give me something to whet my appetite<br>And chill my soul with a sudden lack of interest<br>Oh, but the winter freezes on and the candle's burned low<br>Fill me with the hot stuff then say you've got to go<br>Take my mind, marinade it in red wine<br>Grate my thighs with your chinny chin chin<br>And I will let you in<br>Oh on a long dark night a long dark man might ...
