Bad

(Kirsty MacColl)

I've been the token woman all my life

The token daughter and the token wife

Now I collected tokens one by one

'Til I've saved enough to buy a gun

Now you can't get even but you can get mad

And it's not funny no and it's not sad

It's just a feeling that I've always had

Oh Look out world I'm about to be bad

I want a brief encounter in a stolen car

A hand on my buttock in a Spanish bar

I want to meet the man who wants to go too far

For a token of my affection

I want to taste excitement

Smell the danger

Get swept off my feet by the perfect stranger

I want to try something that I've never had

Oh look out world I'm about to be bad

I've been an awful woman all my life

A dreadful daughter and a hopeless wife

And I've had my eye on that carving knife

Oh you've been lucky so far

I'm not crazy no I'm just mad

I don't want to be sorry

No I want to be glad

It's just a feeling inside that I have always had

So look out world I'm about to be bad
