Absolutely furious! (NSFW) [Marianne Faithfull: Why’d Ya Do It?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDVe1rjCj_Y) When I stole a twig from our little nest And gave it to a bird with nothing in her beak, I had my balls and my brains put into a vice And twisted around for a whole fucking week. Why’d ya do it, she said, why’d you let that trash Get a hold of your cock, get stoned on my hash ? Why’d ya do it she said, why’d you let her suck your cock ? Oh, do me a favour, don’t put me in the dark. Why’d ya do it, she said, they’re mine all your jewels, You just tied me to the mast of the ship of fools. ---

Survival mode - Gloria Gaynor At first I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to get along And so you’re back From outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key If I’d known for just one second you’d be back to bother me Go on now, go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you’re not welcome anymore Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Do you think I’d crumble Did you think I’d lay down and die? ---
