lyrics

Harriet was 9 or 10
When she read of Lizzy Borden
When she read what she had done
She looked forward to 21

She would buy herself some booze
And break into her step dad's flat
And when he'd wake and reach for her
She finish him off with a bat

The Blackness in Harriet's Heart
The Blackness in Harriet's Heart

Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks;
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.

The Blackness in Harriet's Heart
The Blackness in Harriet's Heart

She would buy herself some booze
And break into her step dad's flat
And when he'd wake and reach for her
She finish him off with a bat
just like that

The Blackness in Harriet's Heart
The Blackness in Harriet's Heart
The Blackness The Harriet's The Heart
The Blackness of Harriet's Heart
