Penelope Halfpenny Ft The Imposters Letras

Penelope Halfpenny sat on the desk
Then stretched and grinned
She cracked her spine
And so we sinned
While Ruth in red and Beckett in blue

Into the confessional flew

And in that box, unlocked their dreams

While lovers ran hands on nylon



Penelope, Penelope, Penelope Halfpenny



Penelope Halfpenny

Asked a great deal

Turned on her heel

Through her squandered ambitions while marking time

Taught lessons to all adjacent to crime

From her days reporting to the Scotland Yard blotter

Who got who and who got what

But none of that mattered, not one jot

To Penelope, Penelope, Penelope, Penelope Halfpenny



Ruth in red tumbled from her bed although, I know

Beckett in blue, hung there bleeding from the springs below

Penelope, Penelope

Penelope she came and went

We assumed that all her savings were spent

Her style of drama and her shape of face

Disappeared with the dot of a decimal place



While Beckett in blue and Ruth in red

Might for all I know be dead

And to the church door both were driven

Or could be somewhere, happily living



Just in time to be forgiven

Penelope, Penelope, Penelope, Penelope Halfpenny
