For all my fab female friends!

from Corinne Bailey Rae....


Three little birds sat on my window and they told me I don’t need to worry
Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.
Maybe sometimes, we’ve got it wrong but it’s alright,
the more things seem to change, the more they stay the same.
Oooh, don’t you hesitate
Girl put your records on, tell me your favourite song,
You go ahead let your hair down.
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead let your hair down
You’re going to find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely, sipping tea in a bar by the roadside…
Just relax, just relax, don’t you let those other boys fool you.
Got to love that afro hairdo
Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid but it’s alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change
Don’t you think it’s strange….

…twas more than I could take,
Pity for pity’s sake, some nights kept me awake
I thought that I was stronger,
When you going to realize that you don’t even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to, girl
Just put your records on
