Lyrics

Verse
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, I don't, I don't want ya,
leave the, leave the lonely man, who couldn't get her.
Saw the, saw the dark night, tried her wings, and took flight, knew he felt beyond despair
Yes, he tried, he tried, nearly fell and died, but he wasn't wise, laid in lots of lies. She escaped his bed, where he laid his head, tried to creep down lonely stairs.
Chorus
When she flies the skies, stardust in her eyes,
now she never cries, not ever,
when she flies the skies, stardust in her eyes,
now she never cries, not ever.
First he cried and cried, that she hurt his pride,
dressed her like a bride, when she tried to hide......
So she, so she, hurt him, when she, when she, spurned him,
but he wouldn't learn things-from her.
4. But she couldn't, linger, brambles cut her finger,
still she ran with vigour, through them.
Gotcha, devil cried, in a bog was mired.
stamped his hooves-in fire-to burn her.
CHORUS
You'll wish that you weren't born, night or morn, wedding dress is torn-- on the dew-drop lawn. This will be your end, I am not your friend, I'll be bad to you forever.
Gotcha, angel cried, I've watched you, and spied,
I'll make sure you ride-- bad weather. I will pull your tail, make sure that you wail, stuff you in a pail--I'll dare...
Chorus
Scoop you with a ladle, slap you in a bagel, warning on the label there. Serve with chilli pickle, that will make you wriggle, maybe sting you--make you. swear....
Let the girl run free, six times round the tree,
and the oak, until she finds- a man she doesn't mind,
loving every time, drinking rich red wine, life is always fine-- together.
Chorus
He will buy a ring, bring her everything, write a song
and sing- to her,
She at last will know, never needs to go, fly with him- to everywhere.
Lonely man grew old, and his heart was cold,
supped with devil in dark caverns.
Liked his horns and hooves, heard the devil's news, knew he'd lost her and unravelled...
scoop them up and put them in a bagel with hot chilli to punosh them.Chorus.
When she flies the skies, stardust in her eyes,
now she never cries, not ever,
when she flies the skies, stardust in her eyes,
now she never cries, not ever.
