JACK IN A BOX
Jacklyn was sixteen when he rolls, into town
She fell deep and fast
Thought she would drown
It didn't take long, till he pushed her around
Chorus
Someone put Jack in a box, Jack in a box
Red nails, high heels
Do whatever he wants
Someone put Jack in a box, Jack in a box
Ain't no child's game, when he slides the key in the locks
Jacklyn cooked and cleaned, she never stepped out of line
Endured the pain
And the shame
Always three steps behind
Told herself everyday she wouldn't take it next time
Chorus
Someone put Jack in a box, Jack in a box
Red nails, high heels
Do whatever he wants
Someone put Jack in a box, Jack in a box
Ain't no child's game, when he slides the key in the locks
The next time came too soon, she couldn't take it no more
Thought I'm gonna make it this time when her hand hit the door
Felt the pain
Heard the shot
Seen her blood on the floor
Chorus
Someone put Jack in a box, Jack in a box
Red nails, high heels
Do whatever he wants
Someone put Jack in a box, Jack in a box
Ain't no child's game, when he slides the key in the locks
Jacklyn was nineteen when he rolled out of town
Handcuffed, backseat
Can't push no one around
Jacklyn is free, can't you see
Her family standing around
Bells are ringing, choir singing
Lower the box in the ground
Chorus
No one can put Jack in a box, Jack in a box
No fear, no pain
No closed doors with big locks
No one can put Jack in a box, Jack in a box
White dress
Silver wings
Fly where ever she wants.

She got the Beauty...
He got the cash-
She got the ass,
They spend every night together,
slowly, gettin' smashed.
She got the
A chameleon to all I have known
Mirrors do not reflect what my mind has shown
Do no trust how to feel and
Broken glass
shattered hearts
rewind please,
to where this starts.
A man mid-twenties
looking to cope
he keeps breaking

JACK IN A BOX
Jacklyn was sixteen when he rolls, into town
She fell deep and fast
Thought she would drown
It didn't take
by Adam John
Another seething rage
Another row about my age
Another Glasgow Kiss
A wasted night in casualty
And they can see
You're beating
