Jim Bryson, The Weakerthans - Metal Girls lyrics

I took my best foot and I
Slowly put it out from me
'Cause, I heard that leapin' in
Never did much good
With all the heavy metal girls that could've
Lived a world away it seems
And not just over in the next neighborhood
Where I heard that they'd never
Talked to a bookkeeper's son
Who talked and talked but never
Learned a thing about love

I took my best laid plans and I laid
'em all out in front of me
Knowing my best laid plans never
Did me much good
With all the heavy metal girls that could've
Livеd a world away it seems
And not just over in the next nеighborhood
Where I heard that they'd never talked
To a bus driver's son
Who talked and talked but never
Learned a thing about love
Well you know somedays that
Talking is not enough
To break the windows wide open
And let us out into the big wide world
We'll break the screen door wide open
See if we can go a little on this earth
We'll break the ceilings wide open
And let the sun burn the skin
Of all the heavy metal girls

Ba ba bada da ba ba ba bada da ba
Ba ba bada da ba ba ba bada da ba
Ba ba bada da ba ba ba bada da ba
Ba ba bada da ba ba ba bada da ba
