Cuntry Boys & City Girls

I bet you thought I was going to do a video game.

"Cuntry Boys & City Girls"
by The Fratellis

I said I don't get out too much I said
She said you said I said two times instead
I said oh please please please no, your just not funny ya know
So stick around here for a week or three or four
I passed out one time by your door
It was twenty to four but I just can't be sure

Cinderella Cinderella she's my very kind of fella
Part right half wrong oh you know it won't be too long
And oh you know we country boys are only after sex and noise
Take me shake me I'm a real mess oh yes
I love the way you city girls dress even though your head's in a mess

Well it was some kind of house by some kind of road
With some kind of peculiar dress code
All the boys had no style not one girl did she smile
I said your making me itch she said don't
I said I'll try my best she said I know that you won't
Now it's time to go home while I was chewing her bone

Baby doll baby doll climbing on the bedroom wall
Got no real friends at all maybe she's a mother or two
But I think she's into you
Take me home take me home call my mother on the phone
Ella was her name when I left but now she is Rose
Got no fingers or toe's lost them everywhere that she goes , now

Lost them everywhere that she goes now
Lost them everywhere that she goes now
Lost them everywhere that she goes now
Lost them everywhere that she goes now

Cinderella Cinderella she's my very kind of fella
Part right half wrong oh you know it won't be too long
And oh you know we country boys are only after sex and noise
Take me shake me I'm a real mess oh yes
I love the way you city girls dress even though your head's in a mess

Baby doll baby doll climbing on the bedroom wall
Got no real friends at all maybe she's a mother or two
But I think she's into you
Take me home take me home call my mother on the phone
Ella was her name when I left but now she is Rose
Got no fingers or toe's lost them everywhere that she goes, now

There's actually a few fairy tales worked in here if you ask me. There's Rose for Briar Rose, also known as Sleeping Beauty, the wall reminds me of Rapunzel and then the blatant use of "Cinderella." For those only accustom to the Disney version (I.E. Children), the bit with fingers and toes wouldn't click but we know better. ;)


I'm personally pleased with the links to the various Angela Carter stories I see. The call to mother? Country Boys only wanting sex and noise? Generic, yes, but The Fratellis are an English band...
