East End Girl

When she's hot it's the heat of a burning at the stake

And when she's cold it's the chill of a frozen Moscow lake

And when she smiles is it real or the smile an assassin makes

Before he sends you to hell ?

She's an east end girl

When she sighs it's the sigh of a sleeping tiger's stir

And when she cries it's a storm like the world has never heard

And when she lies you'll believe in every single word

Coz you can never tell

With an east end girl

And when they're kicking down the door she'll be there at your side

They'll never take her alive coz she's an east end girl

She's dangerous and beautiful and proud

With her feet on the ground and her head high in the clouds

And all it takes is one look through a late night party crowd

To put you under the spell

Of an east end girl

And she may move to the country or the coast

For the kids and the Volvo and the Sunday roast

But there's one thing her posh neighbours can never boast

Underneath her shell

She's an east end girl.
