Mandy is Having a Baby

lyrics by the Poison Girls

She's not in her class at school
Teachers want to know why
She's starting to think in blue and pink
They'll never guess why
She's living in a high rise flat
She's up on the thirteenth floor
Playing with ashes as fairyland crashes
Secretly hoping for more

Mandy is having a baby
The hunters are out in the woods
American planes fly over the lanes
Do you really think that they should
I'm asking you 'cos I want to know
Do you really think that they should?

They're living in a picture book
In a cottage by a motorway
Dreaming of peace
As the cars roar past
Just look the other way

They're living in a magazine dream
In a cottage by the motorway
He goes out while she stays in
Will the sun come out today?
