lyrics

CRACKS
Hannah walks down streets and avenues
Figuring she had nothing to lose
And made her way to the port
Lost her job down at the Woolworths store
Too many cigarette breaks
And boys who called
And one day the till was found short

Her mother took the phone call
Her father drank more booze
Hannah wasn’t even asked if it was true
I guess they thought their little girl
Was way beyond rescue
Just another crack
She had fallen through
Hannah walks down streets and avenues
Uncertain which one she’ll choose
So much a thing as nought

Now she sits in her car out of view
The curtains look shabby in the old bedroom
And the house she thought was big
Now looks small
Many years since they closed
The Woolworths store
But the sky looks the same
As the day she walked
Distressed, lifeless and bruised

She sees her Mother weeding flower beds
Her Father died from booze
Hannah doesn’t even know what’s true
They gave up on their little girl
Hannah gave up on them too
Just cracks that people can fall through
Hannah walks down streets and avenues
Does it really matter which one she’ll choose
So much a thing as nought
