Bad
Kirsty Maccoll


I've been the token woman
All my life
The token daughter and the token wife
Now I collected tokens
One by one
'Til I've saved enough
To buy a gun
Now you can't get even
But you can get mad
And it's not funny
No and it's not sad
It's just a feeling
That I've always had
Oh look out world
I'm about to be bad
I want a brief encounter in
A stolen car
A hand on my buttock in
A Spanish bar
I want to meet the man
Who wants to go too far
For a token of my affection
I want to taste excitement
Smell the danger
Get swept off my feet by the perfect stranger
I want to try something that I've never had
Oh look out world I'm about to be bad


I've been an awful woman all my life
A dreadful daughter and a hopeless wife
And I've had my eyes on that carving knife
Oh you've been lucky so far
I'm not crazy no I'm just mad
I don't want to be sorry, no I want to be glad
It's a feeling inside that I have always had
So look out world I'm about to be bad
