Kvinneskets feministmusikk 2: Jenny Wilson


















"Only here for the fight" av Jenny Wilson:

Are you a sleep? Stop that dreaming...

I´m ready!
The hole´s been fixed in my skirt
Combed my hair with my fingertips
And washed away the dirt Will I make it?
I know I must go on
Am I right or am I wrong?

I won´t give up!
I am armed; I am tough I am strong
And prepared for the rough days
I sing the fighter´s song
Cause I will make it!
I know I must go on
I´m only here,

Only here for the fight!
Listen to the choir!
Only here for the fight!
Hunker down, there´s a fire shot!
Only here for the fight!
Lick the plates clean!
Only here for the fight!
Oh, I don´t want to lose...

Don´t screw it up this time, woman!

Wear a coat made of doubt
Butt I roll up my sleeves,
And my pocket full of questions
I´m spitting blood on the street

Remember,
What my mamma said:
Woman, always be prepared...

For the fight...

I´m all knocked out now...
I´ve fallen asleep
Don´t wanna wake up now
From this wonderful dream:
I stalk trough the grass
I´m proud like a queen
My eyes are sharp as neon lights!
My voice is clear ´n´ clean
Oh, glorious! Oh, glorious the choir sings for me
And for the rest of the herd
The words, the words, the words you must have heard:
Only here for the fight!
