Pole Star

[Verse 1]

She was a dancer, who looped round a pole

From eight until midnight, then she would go home

Two kids eating Kit-Kats and drinking dad's beer

While he was still there sleeping

Headphones in his ears


[Verse 2]

She would take money from men in the club

They looked very happy, as she tries to rub

Her bum on their bodies, as they look to see

Their girlfriends' expressions in her repartee


[Chorus]

Pole, Pole Star

The bones in her body creatе just a frame

Where rhythm and movеment excite once again

She goes home to lie down and soak in the night

The bubbles all rise to cling to her sides


[Verse 3]

She reads the papers, waits to perform[?]

The children are calling on her mobile phone

The men sitting waiting are knocking back drinks

But she's saying goodnight to her kiddie-winks


[Chorus]

Pole, Pole Star

The bones in her body create just a frame

Where rhythm and movement excite once again

She goes home to lie down and soak in the night

The bubbles all rise to cling to her sides


[Verse 4]

She drives home at midnight, smoke in her hair

The drunk and contented drift into thin air

And the pole gets a polish

As the lights start to dim

The bar needs restocking but she's sleeping in


[Outro]

Pole, Pole Star

Pole, Pole Star

Pole, Pole Star

Pole, Pole Star

Pole, Pole Star

Pole, Pole Star
