The Taximan's Daughter Songtext
the taximan's daughter's day comes around

photographers hide away, cameras down

her friends have deserted her

god, how they hurt her

baited and spat on her shoe


a country can change a lot in a year

the roundabout culture shock disappears

and who will pick up the tab

for my taxi cab

someone a long way from here



hang a sign on the door, fumble for the key

walk away from the store and years of jealousy


she knows what she wants to be

but can't face the fight you see

bleach out the oncoming day



we're dressed in tuxedos and we trawl the night

huddled together, we find first light

the parkland is flowing now, the crowd keeps growing now

the music has started to play



hang a sign on the door, fumble for the key

walk away from the store and years of jealousy

hang a sign on the door, fumble for the key

walk away from the store and years of jealousy



she knows what she wants to be

but she can't face the fight you see

the music has started to play
