She was a girl from Birmingham She just had an abortion She was a case of insanity Her name was Pauline she lived in a tree She was a no one who killed her baby She sent her letters from the country She was an animal She was a bloody disgrace Body, I'm not an animal Body, I'm not an animal Dragged on a table in a factory Illegitimate place to be In a packet in a lavatory Die little baby screaming fucking bloody mess It's not an animal It's an abortion Body, I'm not animal mummy I'm not an abortion Throbbing squirm, gurgling bloody mess I'm not a discharge, I'm not a loss in protein I'm not a throbbing squirm Fuck this and fuck that Fuck it all and fuck the fucking brat She don't want a baby that looks like that I don't wanna baby that looks like that Body, I'm not an animal Body, I'm not an abortion Body, I'm not an animal An animal I'm not an animal I'm not an abortion Mummy! Ugh! | |
