Joan of arc
[Verse 1]
From the Hamilton to the A3
She must have been about 17 going on 18
They used to undercharge her at the overpass
Cigarettes taste best when they taste like daydreams
But the days are long gone now
But she still looks back
Back to the first ever boy she loved
Who didnt love her back
[Chorus]
My Joan of Arc
A martyr in my bed
Theres three kind words
She never heard said
[Verse 2]
I was caravans, bands, cans and backseats
She was more diazepam, trams, tans and spreadsheets
Looking back then we both laugh
Funny how you never give a **** when youre 20
But she was alone then
And it still makes her mad
How the boys used to lead her on
Just to get in her pants
[Chorus 2]
My Joan of Arc
A martyr in my bed
Her lonely heart
Can find it hard to forgive and forget
The love she once had
Would run as soon as he read
Those three kind words
She never heard said
[Verse 3]
So from the anagrams to the flat keys
Spend most of our time now counting back from 30
My old mate Terry just got discharged
At her majestys pleasure he was never that cosy
But these older days we know now
Though theyre not all that
Theyre some of the best ever days
That Ill ever have
[Chorus 2]
My Joan of Arc
A martyr in my bed
Her lonely heart
Can find it hard to forgive and forget
The love she once had
Would run as soon as he read
Those three kind words
She never heard said
