Bromheads Jacket – Rosey Lee lyrics

It all started when she was 15
She met a young boy who introduced her to alcohol and nicotine
She turned into a creature of the night
With her short short skirts and her big big heels

Off into the big city now
She's making lots of friends
But the friends was all friends cause of powder
Sniffing on the snow regularly
She don't know her friends and no she don't know her family

Rosey Rosey Rosey Lee
When you gonna see that you don't need those amphetamines
When you gonna gonna realise that you are just beautiful
And you don't need no one to tell you that's right

Cause now things start to get out of control
She's out more and more and she's in less and less at home
She decides that she now loves the boy
She thinks he loves her too
But we all know that this is just a ploy

She doesn't talk to Mammy & Daddy anymore
Even when Daddy's I'll in hospital
And Mammy's lying broken on the floor
She is no longer that innocent girl
The substance she is taking is eating her and she's all wrong

Rosey Rosey Rosey Lee
When you gonna see that you don't need those amphetamines
When you gonna gonna realise that you are just beautiful
And you don't need no one to tell you that's right

Rosey Rosey Rosey Lee
You're a big mess girl
How you gonna get yourself clean
Now you've gone and gone and realised
That they don't really love you
And you're just an object to them

You're just an object girl
You're just an object to them

Rosey Rosey Rosey Lee
When you gonna see that you don't need those amphetamines
When you gonna gonna realise that you are just beautiful
And you don't need no one to tell you that's right
