[Verse 1]
Staring down a foreign bird
Saying now would be a good time
To have a shotgun
And I believe the things you've heard
Listen to you careful
I know you're a real one
[Chorus]
I could love it better
If I were a better girl
I could love it better
[Verse 2]
A speed boat called Kate Marie
A cliff that hands so gently
It's coming for my family
I saw a man jump nude and free
Wished you were there with me
But I wished it quietly
[Chorus]
No, I can't love it better
I'm no better girl
I can't love it better
[Outro]
When the curtain falls (When the curtain falls)
It's just you and I (It's just you and I)
By the kitchen stove
You belong beside

Jeanie Pilkington:
[It’s about] trying to force yourself to do something and then stopping to realise, hang on, why the hell am I doing this, I don’t want to? And just trying to pull yourself out of your own habits.
