about

[Wilkes, 2017] Recorded at Whitby Studios, Ellesmere Port by Ian Lewis

lyrics

They said I was no more
Said I’d been and gone
My time was all over
All over and done

My star had faded out
Out of time and out of space
But I returned
To restart the race

Swore it was the end of the world
But I came back
Back as a girl
Sugar and spice and all things nice

My hands were tiny
You said they were good for porn…not that I ever did any
My heart was big
My soul reborn

I tasted of pear drops and strawberry lip-gloss
My shoes were stacked up high
I couldn’t read maps
But I would try I’d try…oh how I’d try

Swore it was the end of the world
But I came back
Back as a girl
Sugar and spice and all things nice

I could be devious
I could be serious
I could be cruel and I could be Oh so mischevious

Thought it was the end of the world
Then I came back as a girl
I had waited all my life
To be somebody’s lover
To be somebody’s wife

I know it sounds a little absurd
But I came back as a girl
Sugar and spice and all things nice

Back in extra time
Back in the firing line
Back on the town with Terry and Dave
On to the pub and on to the rave

Dancing my life away
Was I straight or was I gay?

I grew my hair and my nails
Got a dolphin tattoo
Kinky sex under the stars
In my best knickers and bras

I shopped until I dropped
So easily I cried
At Sleepless in Seattle and the one about the virgin bride…

No one believed me
When I said
The real me is dead
They thought I’d lost
My head

They thought it was the end of the world
And then I came back as a girl
I came back as a girl…
