Sukie was the kid, she liked to hangout in the graveyardShe did brass rubbings, she learned, you never had to press hardWhen she was finished hanging out she was all aloneShe decided that she better check in at homeThere was an awful row between her mum and dadThey said, she hadn't done this, she hadn't done thatIf she wanted to remain inside the family homeShe'd have to tow the line, she'd have to give it a goIt didn't suit Sukie, she took her things and leftSukie was the kid, she liked to hang out in the art schoolShe didn't enroll but she wiped the floor with all the arseholesShe took a bijou flat with the fraternity catShe hid inside the attic of the sculpture buildingShe had a slut slave and his name was DaveShe said, Be my photo bitch and I'll make you richHe didn't believe her but the boy revered herHe got her meals, he got her a bedHe watched behind the screen and she started to undressHe never got far, just lookin' and playing guitarOh [Incomprehensible]Autumn hanging downAll the trees are draped like chandeliersNow Sukie saw the beautyBut she wasn't wet behind the earsShe had an A1 body and a face to matchShe didn't have money, she didn't have cashWith the winter coming on and the attic coldShe had to press her nose on the refectory wallThey served steamed puddings, she went withoutShe had to pose for life for all the scholars of artShe didn't feel funny, she didn't feel badPeeling away everything she hadShe had the grace of an eel, sleek and starkAs the shadows played tricks on the girl in the dark, darkSukie was the kid and she liked to hangout in the graveyardSukie was the kid and she liked to hangout in the graveyardSukie was the kid and she liked to hangout in the graveyardSukie was the kid and she liked to hangout in the graveyard
