Townhouse Girl

This week's song is an unreleased track by Ali George:

"The concept of Townhouse Girl developed from a lyric that had been in my mind for a week or so (the first line of the song). I knew I wanted to expand the work and as soon as a melody emerged I got to work writing the rest... I also knew the narrator wasn't me, I found it interesting writing from someone else's perspective and that's a style of writing I've continued over the past year."

Townhouse Girl
Won't you treat me like a friend
I feel like a fool, I gave all my heart to you
Got nothing back

Townhouse Girl
Won't you open up the door
Out in the cold, with nowhere to go
Townhouse Girl

November wind,
won't you ease off again
It cuts straight through my coat
now I'm cold as a ghost
She's locked up safe inside
With her fire burning bright
I'm down here on the street
And you're blowing my heart apart

November wind,
Won't you ease off again
It cuts straight through my coat
Now I'm cold as a ghost
She's locked up safe inside
With her fire burning bright
I'm down here on the street
And you're blowing my heart apart

Townhouse Girl
Won't you treat me like a friend
I feel like a fool, I gave all my heart to you
Got nothing back

Help us to bring more folk music to Bath;
