Longer legs than any girl I know

Swishing down the Old Kent Road, with her hips on overload


Making sure the lonliness don't show




She was never he for as long as I remember


She was never of her gender categorically


She was never he though the boys at school were cruel

You would have to be a fool not to see





That she was never...




Jodie she was quelle surprise, to fool the boys was such a breeze


But deep inside her heart the terror flowed

What if he should realise, break her heart or black her eyes


These things are so important for a girl to know




She was never he for as long as I remember


She was never of her gender categorically


She was never he though though this world could be so cruel

You would have to be a fool not to see





And the government says you no longer exist

It's a kick in the eye, it's the final twist


Of the surgeons knife


Welcome to my glamorous life




Oh the big dark man


Will he turn a blind eye

Love me for who I am


Turn me out and make me cry




She was never he for as long as I remember


She was never of her gender categorically


She was never he though this world could be so cruel

You would have to be a fool not to see





She was never he for as long as I remember

She was never of her gender categorically


She was never he though this world could be so cruel

You would have to be a fool not to see


that she was never...
