It’s funny now looking back
Like a scene straight out a farce
Naked in the back room singing
Bonnie’s best eight bars
Those drunken nights hooked on love
Balancing our hearts
Caked in powder blue cool
And Bonnie’s best eight bars
She said
Is this my chance my one big chance
My one stab at happiness
I’m gonna grab it with both hands
I’m ready, ready when you are
For Bonnie’s best eight bars
Two sunken eyes looking back
From a face I recognise
But time has knocked the shine off
Bonnie’s sacred smile
And there she sits
Like Buddha locked in a room above my heart
Maybe she’s still waiting
For Bonnie’s best eight bars
I’m ready, ready when you are
I’m ready, ready when you are
I’m ready, ready when you are
