man, what a woman
Singer:waterboys, the
she opens her heart with a slow reveal
shows a treasure that's lain long concealed
then drives away in a low-slung automobile
she won't suffer pomposity
she's got a bullshit detector
she's got cool taste in music
likes it rustic and weird
her favourite singers all have sideburns or beards
she loves the end of pale rider when clint eastwood sneers
she's got a quicksilver wisdom
and a head full of spells
two or three children around her feet
it's a lucky man who's ever loved
but i ain't tellin' mister
if she was ever in any kind of trouble i'd be honoured to assist her
she's the queen of the greenwood
she's pan's little sister
to someone righteous and kind
she'll always be beautiful
