carol and the mandolin - m.j. hibbett & the validators lyrics
carol came from northern ireland she played the mandolin
we became friends from the day she decided she’d teach it to me
playing brown eyed girl in the kitchen while watching her children play
sat in her house in that summer i learnt something new every day
one night we went to a club playing indie and northern soul
she met a man in the corner and later she took him home
we didn’t see her for weeks after that, she had disappeared
till i went with my mandolin round to her house, where i found her in tears
because he’d sucked her and f-cked her and come in her mouth
slapped her and kicked her and punched her about
beat her and beat till the whole house was red
stabbed her with a screwdriver and left her for dead
she begged me to leave saying he’d be back soon
she stopped me from seeing the state of the room
refusing to show me the bruises he’s made
she said that he loved her or so he had claimed
because he’d sucked her and f-cked her and come in her mouth
slapped her and kicked her and punched her about
beat her and beat till the whole house was red
stabbed her with a screwdriver and left her for dead
all of her friends told her she had to leave
it took two more beatings before she agreed
she needed something to take her away
so it was my turn to teach her to play on the mandolin
