Poor Cow Lyrics

                                   POOR COW
                                Tanita Tikaram

             Today is my birthday
             I stay outside the wall
             Inside sit the butterflies
             For the butterfly ball

             All the boys are graded now
             They come in their white socks, flat tops
             And somehow they find a place
             All the boys are winning now
             They play all the tricks with smiles
             And a sorry past
             For a poor cow

             Their own room
             And winter trees
             Never touched these girls before
             They hear the car stereo
             And know waht life is for

             All the boys are weary now
             Listening to the family sing song
             Family say so

             Musty carve must carve poor cow
             Slice her, slice her up, poor cow
             Slice her, slice her up, poor cow
             Slice her, slice her up, poor cow

             Today is my birthday
             I stay outside the wall
             Inside sit the butterflies
             For the butterfly ball
