about

This is an ode to tomboys.

lyrics

(She can be blunt)
(but she means well)

Can you see her walking down the street?
She leaves a mark on everyone she meets
Can you see the way she flicks her hair?
You can see she doesn't have a care

Thighs of a cyclist! Eyes of a psycho!
Gripper, my girl ‘Gripper’
Thighs of a cyclist! Eyes of a psycho!
Gripper, my girl ‘Gripper’

Do you see her chewing on the pen?
Spittin' bits out every now and then
Do you see the way she writes the score?
That's in the desk for evermore

Thighs of a cyclist! Eyes of a psycho!
Gripper, my girl ‘Gripper’
Thighs of a cyclist! Eyes of a psycho!
Gripper, my girl ‘Gripper’

I knew it when I held her, she could have been a welder
She does full pints but that's alright with me
I knew it when I held her, she could have been a welder
She does full pints but that's alright with me
I think it's neat

She has a hold upon my life,
and I couldn't leave her...

Can you see her walking down the street?
She leaves a mark on everyone she meets
Can you see the way she flicks her hair?
You can see she doesn't have a care

Thighs of a cyclist! Eyes of a psycho!
Gripper, my girl ‘Gripper’
Thighs of a cyclist! Eyes of a psycho!
Gripper, my girl ‘Gripper’
