lyrics

'Dirty Girl Blues'

Teen rites of passage was built for the masses
Appearances to deceive
Caught yourself falling that don’t come with a warning
A cute trip for you to think that you’ll be playing me
Well doll I been in this game too long
I know I got got what you need
It’s what you want

And I don’t mean to be cruel mean to be unkind
But I aint some young fool sure as hell aint blind
The time has come to cut the shit
Before we lose our minds

It’s always hard to wear battle scars
My past might cut you the same
But control girl no need to feel insecure
I’ll teach you so good you’ll be thinking your names lady luck
Learnt those teasing tricks getting kicks out dicing at the players club

Though I know this big world’s left you lost confused
Wanna know the big scoop? We’re all scared to lose
But don’t wanna play pretend like you got the dirty girl blues

You see that playtime girl with the boys
Wishing you could be so cool
Thinking it’s control when to stay or go
Don’t you know she aint the running the show

That girl never gets what she wants
That girl never gets what she needs
But the penny only starts to drop
When she’s getting to her feet from her knees

That girl never gets what she wants
That girl never gets what she needs
But the penny only starts it’s little drop
When she’s getting to her feet from her knees

Fresh on the Net described Burning Condors' debut single ‘Honey Trap’ as “...dirty in a good way...” whilst God is in the TV hailed “...a howling haunted victim of love no more”. Joyzine was equally impressed, describing Burning Condors' sound as using “...a modern art punk filter to come up with something fresh and new. Imagine Nick Cave sipping whiskey with John Spencer in a Hoxton dive bar.” ... more
