Girls Can Keep a Secret

Girls can keep a secret can't they
But they didn't know
For almost 30 weeks before she started to show
She'd always seemed to grow so fast
And all they ever had to do was ask
Boys can be such stupid bastards
For a superior race
Mistaking all her tears for laughter
I rest my case
Maybe they were going steady
But the baby she just wasn't ready
For this world
For this world
For this world
For this world
For this world can be cruel sometimes
For the easily led
Don't let yourself be fooled by sunshine
And what the Bible says
Well I'm not saying the Bible lies
It's just that some things don't apply
To this world
To this world
To this world
To this world
And all this comes to pass
When a child is born at last
Into the world at the Hotel Fleet Pit
How could this girl keep a secret?
The prosecution and defence
Stepped down and approached the bench
As she lay the body on the table
She wasn't ready, fit or able
For this world
For this world
For this world
For this world
For this world
And all this comes to pass
When a child is born at last
In this world
In this world
In this world
In this world
In this world
