lyrics

Oh russet witch
Kick up your heels
Olive arms spinning round
I'm not convinced youre real

Oh russet witch
No married life
Sucking sweetness from the hour
No nine to five

Oh russet witch
Teach me some more
Kick the drinks off the table top
Knock the chandelier to the floor

Oh russet witch
Tempt me some more
Your laugh rings like a dare
An open door

Oh russet witch
Always the wicked girl
All the catholics kneel and pray
Now you're loose in the world

Oh russet witch
Toppled mess of hair
Sitting at the foot of the bed
Like a kama put you there

Oh russet witch
You play tricks with your eyes
Fill me up like a paper cup
Crumpled and tossed aside

Oh russet witch
Lets carry on
Throw one back for the bourgioisie
Til the break of dawn

Oh russet witch
Slip out at night
Linger in a glass of gin
To forget the stuff of life

Oh russet witch
Who was i to resist
A world well wasted
A life now eclipsed
