Autumngirlsoup Lyrics - Singles - Kirsty Maccoll

I'm an autumn girl, flying over London 

With the trees on fire it looks like home 

I'm an autumn girl on the endless search for summer 

'Cause I need some love to cook my frozen bones 

You needed something to get your teeth into 

And in my voodoo kitchen you said 

"I've got something to show you 

It's a recipe handed down from father to son 

For a thousand years and it goes with those hot salt tears" 

I'm an autumn girl, crying over London 

With a heart on fire but no-one home 

I'm an autumn girl on the endless search for summer 

'Cause I need some love to heat my frozen bones 

Get me on the boil and reduce me 

To a simmering wreck with a slow kiss 

To the back of my neck 

Carve up my heart on a very low flame 

Separate my feelings, then pour them down the drain 

Close my eyes and sweeten me with lies 

Pierce my skin with a few well chosen words 

Now you can stuff me with whatever you've got handy 

And on a cold gray day, a cold gray man will do 

I'm an autumn girl, flying over London 

With the trees on fire it looks like home 

I'm an autumn girl on the endless search for summer 

'Cause I need some love to heat my frozen bones 

So give me something to whet my appetite 

And chill my soul with a sudden lack of interest 

Oh, but the winter freezes on and the candle's burned low 

Fill me with the hot stuff then say you've got to go 

Take my mind, marinade it in red wine 

Grate my thighs with your chinny chin chin 

And I will let you in 

Oh, on a long dark night a long dark man might
