Luyện nghe bài hát Me and the mad girl

Words and music Williamsson 1978

I learned in
That I was mad if they sane, you see
They had to me black and blue
They it hurt them more than me
But I who were my enemies
and I who were my friends
I learned to between the lines
I was 10
I'd do anything to get out of
Away from the stick
To shoot streetlamps with my
Smoke and get sick
Steal in September
Fight shadows in June
Or just sit and smell the leaves
Of an autumns's
Of an afternoon

Once I met a mad
As she came through the furze
Her clothes all with fluff and stuff
Bearded barley and burrs
and I was high among the branches
and she, she hadn't me there
As she went shuffling her shadow
and at the air
Wild weeds,
Were 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 summer's
Of a afternoon

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