Luyện nghe bài hát Me and the mad girl

Words and music Williamsson 1978

I learned in
I was mad if they were sane, you see
They had to beat me black and
They said it hurt more than me
But I learned who my enemies
and I learned who were my
I learned to read between the
I was 10
I'd do anything to get out of
Away the teacher's stick
To shoot streetlamps my slingshot
Smoke cigarettes and get
Steal in September
Fight shadows in June
Or just sit and the burning leaves
Of an afternoon
Of an autumns's

I met a mad girl
As she came through the furze
Her clothes all stuck fluff and stuff
Bearded and bristly burrs
and I was high the branches green
and she, she hadn't me there
As she went shuffling with her
and at the air
Wild weeds,
twined all in her curls
and I could tell by her mad blue
She was a mad
She was as any sparrow
Her it had no tune
scuffling through the piney glades
Of a afternoon
Of a summer's

I came dropping through the down
She started round in and fear
I know what I had to say
But something I knew she had to
She picked up a piece of
Drew back her arm and flung it
Not a bad throw cut my cheek
below the eye
Mad girl, mad
you ran away
I knew you as mad as me
and as sane as a day
Mad girl, mad
We both were again
You took me for an
and I took you for a
I you for a friend
