Liberation

A row of cigarette burns upon your arm
A burst and bloody nose
Call the police for the hundredth time
Keep on getting a familiar line
"It's nothing to do with us" they say
"You shouldn't argue anyway"
"You should know by now, you're just a slag, just a cow
"You shouldn't have let him down"
"After all he is your husband"
"After all he is your husband"
But what's that got to do with me?
I'm just a man and I've been there, you see
Felt the violence and felt the pain
Liberated, I won't go there again
Go there again
Go there again
Go there again
I can hear you crying
Not an answer from the room
He's out there somewhere drinking out his failure and his doom
He wants to know if you'll return again
But enough's enough, enough's enough, enough's enough, enough's enough
Here's your sister
She holds your hand
She's a woman, not a man
She's a woman and she understands
Let me tell you she understands
She knows and I know
There is a much much better road, much
Don't go there again, don't go there again,
we won't go there again, we won't go there again
