Tanita Tikaram - Poor Cow lyrics

Today is my birthday

I stay outside the hall

Inside sit the butterflies

For the butterfly ball

All the boys are graded now

They come in their white socks, flat tops

And somehow they find a place

All the boys are winning now

They play all the tricks with smiles

And a sorry past

For poor caw

Their own room

And winter trees

Never touched these girls before

They hear the car stereo

And then know what life is for

All the boys are weary now

Listening to the family sing song

Family say so

Must carve, must carve, poor cow

Slice her up, slice her up, slice her up, poor cow

Slice her up, slice her up, slice her up, poor cow, yap

Today is my birthday

I stay outside the hall

Inside sit the butterflies

For the butterfly ball
