Girl With One Track Mind (Sexhunters)
I Fell in Love on the Northern Line
Release Yourself by Alain English
I saw him punch you in the face
It made an ugly sound
He smashed your head against the wall
And threw you to the ground
He stamped and kicked upon your head
As you lay on the floor
He spat and cursed and called you names
He labelled you a whore
Despite this nasty beating
From a man you call a lover
You wouldn't put him in his place
And leave him for another
You took the easy option
Became his girl again
Believed him when he told you
That his fisticuffs would end
Now he seems a man of confidence
Of power and security
A man who could protect you
And offer you security
He could give you money, food and clothes
A home to lay your head
He's unpredictable, exciting
And really good in bed
But all these things about him
The good things that attract you
Are the very things that give him power
And permission to attack you
For you are just a toy to him
A trophy, a possession
A desire to control you
His dominant obsession
Your bright ideas, thoughts and feelings
Matter not to him
You're only there to serve his needs
Obey his every whim
But you can break this vicious cycle
Learn how to be stronger
And stop the sordid, brutal beatings
From going on much longer
To break the cycle isn't easy
It's hard and it is tough
But you can tell him where to go
And say enough's enough!
You don't need to subordinate
Yourself to men like he
Cut the bonds that bind you to him
Release yourself, be free!
