Battersea Bardot

(album: Two Monkeys - 1997)

With your hair so white
You could light up the night
Burning out like a shooting star
From the stage to The Squeeze
From T.V. to striptease
I loved you in the back of my car

Nobody's gonna tell you what to do
Nobody's gonna mess around with you
You'll never give up the fight, not Carol White

Cathy come home, where have you been
It seems so long since you went away
From monochrome to the silver screen
The Battersea Bardot, that's what they say

With that smile in your eyes
You could tell me no lies
Play it hard, take the smooth with the rough
Just a pearl in world
Full of users of girls
One jump ahead for a while, not long enough

Nobody's gonna tell you what to do
Nobody's gonna mess around with you
You'll never give up the fight, not Carol White

Cathy come home, where have you been
It seems so long since you went away
From monochrome to the silver screen
The Battersea Bardot, that's what they say

Cathy come home, where have you been
It seems so long since you went away
From monochrome to the silver screen
The Battersea Bardot, that's what they say
Cathy come home, where have you been
It seems so long since you went away
From monochrome to the silver screen
The Battersea Bardot, that's what they say

The Battersea Bardot, come back and stay
