Sheepskin Tearaway Lyrics - Grace/wastelands - Pete Doherty

She opened her heart to a tearaway, sheepskin tearaway 

He was covered in scars and full of heroin 

Everyone said from the start 

Not one single thing could ever be okay 

She didn't listen anyway 

She just opened her heart, threw her cares away 

At night they held on so tight in the dark 

He brushed her hair away 

She heard him say 

All my life I've been fighting 

And making the best 

Of and with a very bad lot 

A very bad lot 

A very...very bad lot indeed 

Oh, your fighting got you nowhere 

If nowhere's here with you, all I'm asking 

And you could fight forever 

But if you killed them all, you'd never will 

So, give me your surrender 

There are other ways to kill a prey 

But then it would never mend you 

It's like trying to dry your eyes in a pouring rain 

She opened her heart to a tearaway, a sheepskin tearaway 

All covered in scars and full of heroin 

Tearaway, sheepskin tearaway 

Sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep 

Sheepskin tearaway
