Mary went shopping for some shoes down in the marketplace,
She bought some DM’s and painted on a smiley face,
She knows that she’s still lacking in some style, a little grace,
But really all she’s asking for is time, a little space
Cos she’s been twisted inside out and outside in
For love is love and sin is sin
Yes, she’s been twisted inside out and outside in,
But what is love and what is sin?
And she follows all the tips in her magazine,
Her face made up with Boots 17
She’s a Botticelli angel in designer jeans,
And no-one hears her screams.
When Mary dances it’s as if she's cast a spell,
Cos all the boys are watching like she’s a teenage Jezebel,
She loves their eyes upon her, but she’d never kiss and tell
She says it feels like heaven, but she knows she’s going to hell
Cos she’s been twisted inside out and outside in
For love is love and sin is sin
Yes, she's been twisted inside out and outside in,
But what is love and what is sin?
Her face made up with Boots 17,
She’s a Botticelli angel in designer jeans,
But there are nightmares lurking behind her sweetest dreams,
And no-one hears her screams,
And no-one hears her screams,
And no-one hears her screams,
And no-one hears her screams.
Cos she’s been twisted inside out and outside in
For love is love and sin is sin
Yes, she’s been twisted inside out and outside in,
But what is love and what is sin?
Wow! Got here via several mentions in the Big Big Train FB group. Glad I made the trip. I remember being equal parts intrigued and puzzled by Kate Bush on first exposure and this so much brings to mind the drama and theatricality mixed with great talent that made me a fan of Kate Bush. I can say that I am now a fan of Beatrix Players. lanwanman1956
