One Essex Girl - Tullycraft

Her friends clack along on the pavement

In white plastic skyscraper heels

They descend on the raves in the Southend

As she looks from the train and reveals

«I'm left unashamed by my family

Or the message my ankle chains send

But the jokes from the Eastenders cut deep

And the ridicule wears very thin»

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found

In a loaded down white Ford Fiesta

On the A13 north of the pier

Kylie keeps time with the markers

And the Friday night stockings are sheer

These weekends have grown to be reckless

And her friends, they could never relate

The discos are fine for the moment

But she dreams of the day she’ll escape

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found

The house music bleeds from the ceiling

While the bits and the skirts line the wall

Jokes told 'bout the bristols on crumpets

There’s a zeppelin race too close to call

White Diamonds from chavs for the first round

Who negotiate ways to get home

But despite who she might leave the club with

In the morning she wakes up alone

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found

High Street’s exploding with tracksuits

On Sunday the sling backs are off

Pink Kappa handbags at Lakeside

Where nightclubbing girls become moms

The eyeliner pencils meet garters

To keep warm on those Colchester nights

She’s not yet prepared for the routine

Or a life spent with pushchairs and pints

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

For one Essex girl

No place in the world

No place in the world

For one Essex girl

Who waits to be found
