I will not toss my wedding ring into a melting pot
I will not raise three children in one room
I refuse to be grateful for all that I’ve got
Cos I’ve got a spitfire in me and sykes knife in my heart
Go down kicking and screaming
Your ears covered and bleeding
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
Go down fucking and fighting
Can’t you see, man I’m working?
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
I’ve been tuning up this griffin that’s been cursing back at me
It’s been snarling like dogs fighting for a bone
But the balloons above Southampton were a target for to see
‘Til the props were taking over
We were high above the sea
Go down kicking and screaming
Your ears covered and bleeding
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
Go down fucking and fighting
Can’t you see, man I’m working?
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
I did not drink straight whisky ‘til the Krauts invaded France
I did not walk myself home alone
I did not show grown men how to hold me as we danced
Spit when I turn my head to the side
Now this is a romance – hey!
Go down kicking and screaming
Your ears covered and bleeding
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
Go down fucking and fighting
Can’t you see, man I’m working?
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
A few more fresh pressed trouser legs
Now the boys are in Berlin
Run ragged, run screaming
Now my papers handed in
If I’m back at a stove top, hell will freeze that day
Because I’ve heard it hath no fury
Like a woman underpaid – hey!
Go down kicking and screaming
Your ears covered and bleeding
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
Go down fucking and fighting
Can’t you see, man I’m working?
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!
Attagirls, attagirls, attagirls!

Felix is in great shape! And he shows it here. Very first listen and I get all sorts of influences but still his particular sound and clever lyrics. Gimme That Sound is gorgeous and glorious -gave me goosebumps. I'm loving this album zsharl
