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 what life is for
All the boys are weary now
