Richard Thompson

A Bone Through Her Nose

Oh the drones on the corner don't look her in the eye

when she comes out to play

And three times now at the Club Chi-Chi they've turned

her away

Last week she was the belle of the ball but another

week passes

It's time to cast off crutches, scars and pebble

glasses

She's got everything a girl might need

She's a tribal animal, yes indeed

But she hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her

nose

Hasn't got a bone through her nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her

nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose

Hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose

Oh she gets her suits from a personal friend, Coco the

clown

She got dustman's jacket, inside out, it's a party gown

If it's bouffons, she's got bouffons, if it's tat she

got tat

She got hoochie coochie Gucci and a pom-pom hat

She's got everything a girl might need

She's a tribal animal, yes indeed

But she hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her

nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her

nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her

nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose

No!

Well, her ma writes cook books, she wrote one once, and

it sold one or two

Her pa's in the city, he's so witty, he calls it the

zoo

Her boyfriend plays in Scritti Politti, Aunt Sally's

brown bread

In a few more years she can marry some fool and knock

it on the head

She's got everything a girl might need

She's a tribal animal, yes indeed

But she hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her

nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her

nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her

nose

She hasn't got a bone through her nose

She hasn't got a, Oh she hasn't got a, Oh
