A personal tribute to a truly great singer-songwriter
Kirsty MacColl (1959 - 2000) had an auspicious start in life - she was the daughter of Ewan MacColl, a much-liked folk-singer, who perhaps most famously wrote the evocative song 'Dirty Old Town' and her mother was choreographer Jean Newlove.
She had an unusual, powerful and haunting voice that could sound like she had overdubbed her own voice. She often had a quirky turn with her lyrics. Her songs hit to the point and were very much a commentary on life.
Her first record at 18 was ''They Don't Know' which was nearly a hit but somehow just fell short. It later appeared in the charts piloted by Tracey Ullman, an arguably inferior version. Her last album was the hit 'Tropical Brainstorm'.
Her many fans, and many others who heard the story, mourn her loss in a tragic accident off Mexico, when she was run down by a powerboat while swimming. The circumstances of this accident were such that a movement sprung up, called Justice for Kirsty [http://www.justiceforkirsty.org/] was started. It has been closed (in 2010), now that it appears that justice cannot be achieved.

There's a Guy . . .
Lyrics
Oh darling why d'you talk so fast
Another evening just flew past tonight
And now the daybreak's coming in
And i can't win and it ain't right
You tell me all you've done and seen
And all the places you have been without me
Well i don't really want to know
But i'll stay quiet and then i'll go
And you won't have no cause to think about me
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis
But he's a liar and i'm not sure about you
Oh darling you're so popular
You were the best thing new in hicksville
With your mohair suits and foreign shoes
Lou says you changed your pickup for a seville
And now i'm lying here alone
'cause you're out there on the phone to some star in new york
I can hear you laughing now
And i can't help feeling that somehow
You don't mean anything you say at all
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis
But he's a liar and i'm not sure about you
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis
But he's a liar and i'm not sure about you
I said he's a liar and i'm not sure about you
I said he's a liar and i'm not sure about you
I said he's a liar and i'm not sure about you

Don't Come The Cowboy With Me
Lyrics
Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts
Can make you feel nothing at all
They'll never remember and they'll never mind
If you're counting the cracks in the wall
They're quick and they're greedy
They never feel guilty
They don't know the meaning of hurt
The boots just go back on
The socks that had stayed on
The next time they see you
They treat you like dirt
The next time they treat you like dirt
Now don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me
Don't be too rough on my cold, cold heart
It's all I've got left to me now
I fell out of favour with heaven somewhere
And I'm here for the hell of it now
Some girls play cowboys
And some boys play harder to get
But they're got just the same
They smile and say cheese
They're so eager to please
But they'll never remember your name
The names and the places all change
But don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me
Did somebody tell you I'm lonely as hell?
I didn't expect you to know me so well
If I learned a lesson it's how to bounce back again
Sometimes I bounce off the wall
And sometimes my head hits the floor
So don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy
Oh don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me
Can make you feel nothing at all
They'll never remember and they'll never mind
If you're counting the cracks in the wall
They're quick and they're greedy
They never feel guilty
They don't know the meaning of hurt
The boots just go back on
The socks that had stayed on
The next time they see you
They treat you like dirt
The next time they treat you like dirt
Now don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me
Don't be too rough on my cold, cold heart
It's all I've got left to me now
I fell out of favour with heaven somewhere
And I'm here for the hell of it now
Some girls play cowboys
And some boys play harder to get
But they're got just the same
They smile and say cheese
They're so eager to please
But they'll never remember your name
The names and the places all change
But don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me
Did somebody tell you I'm lonely as hell?
I didn't expect you to know me so well

So don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim

Oh don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me
Caroline
Lyrics
She called me up the other day
And left a message on my machine
She called to say you broke her heart
And she wondered if I'd seen you
I didn't know what to do
I never called her back
Oh how could I break the news like that?
No I don't want to see Caroline
Don't want to see her face when she finds out you're mine
Can't look in her eyes and tell her love is blind
No I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
How can I want you so bad
She has to lose again
How could you walk out on her
And turn to her best friend?
It was wrong from the start
I wish I'd turned you away
And my head said go
And my heart, my heart said stay
And now I don't want to see Caroline
Don't want to see her cry when she knows you're mine
Can't look in those eyes and tell her she'll be fine
No I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
I'm so ashamed of myself but I still want you
What a terrible thing for a friend to do
I think I've gone too far this time
I leapt across that thin blue line
God help this selfish heart of mine
No I don't want to see Caroline
I can never face Caroline
Though I lie here with you
Can't get her out of my head
Do you think she knows that you share my bed?
Well I don't want to see Caroline
Don't want to see her face when she finds out you're mine
How can a friend be so unkind?
No I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
And left a message on my machine
She called to say you broke her heart
And she wondered if I'd seen you
I didn't know what to do
I never called her back
Oh how could I break the news like that?
No I don't want to see Caroline
Don't want to see her face when she finds out you're mine
Can't look in her eyes and tell her love is blind
No I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
How can I want you so bad
She has to lose again
How could you walk out on her
And turn to her best friend?
It was wrong from the start
I wish I'd turned you away
And my head said go
And my heart, my heart said stay
And now I don't want to see Caroline
Don't want to see her cry when she knows you're mine
Can't look in those eyes and tell her she'll be fine
No I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
I'm so ashamed of myself but I still want you
What a terrible thing for a friend to do
I think I've gone too far this time
I leapt across that thin blue line
God help this selfish heart of mine
No I don't want to see Caroline
I can never face Caroline
Though I lie here with you
Can't get her out of my head
Do you think she knows that you share my bed?
Well I don't want to see Caroline
Don't want to see her face when she finds out you're mine
How can a friend be so unkind?
No I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
Favourite Album
Tropical Brainstorm
![Tropical Brainstorm album cover [March 2000]](http://i2.squidoocdn.com/resize/squidoo_images/250/draft_lens17093361module144422161photo_1293984991Tropical_Brainstorm.JPG "Tropical Brainstorm album cover [March 2000]")
The album 'Tropical Brainstorm', inspired by Cuban rhythms that had been a major influence in her latter years, is undoubtedly my favourite of her five great albums.Her 'switch' to Latin rhythm and her ability with this hybrid genre showed her real talent was just developing, just as she was to be taken from us.
In these Shoes?
Lyrics
I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said "Let's make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock"
I said "In these shoes?
I don't think so"
I said "Honey, let's do it here."So I'm sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said "I've got as powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride
I know a little place, we can get there for the break of day."
I said "In these shoes?
No way, Jose"
I said "Honey, let's stay right here."
No le gusta caminar. No puede montar a caballo
(She doesn't like to walk, she can't ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? Es un escandolo
(But the way she dances, it's a scandal)
Then I met an Englishman
"Oh" he said
"Won't you walk up and down my spine,
It makes me feel strangely alive."
I said "In these shoes?
I doubt you'd survive."
I said "Honey, let's do it.
Let's stay right here."
No le gusta caminar. No puede montar a caballo
(She doesn't like to walk, she can't ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? Es un escandolo
(But the way she dances, it's a scandal)
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said "Let's make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock"
I said "In these shoes?

I said "Honey, let's do it here."So I'm sitting at a bar in Guadalajara

England 2 Columbia 0
Lyrics
Oh you shouldn't have kissed me and got me so excited
And when you asked me out I really was delighted
So we went to a pub in Belsize Park
And we cheered on England as the sky grew dark
Oh you shouldn't have kissed me cause you started a fire
But then I found out that you're a serial liar
You lied about your status
You lied about your life
You never mentioned your three children
And the fact you have a wife
Now it's England 2 Colombia 0
And I know just how those Colombians feel
If you hadn't passed out while I was talking to your friend
It could have really ended badly cause you very nearly had me
If he hadn't taken pity on my heart full of desire
I might never have found out you're a serial liar
You lied about your status
You lied about your life
You forgot you have three children
You forgot you have a wife
Now it's England 2 Colombia 0
And I know just how those Colombians feel
It is not in my nature to ever pick the winning team
Sometimes I think I'm happy then I remember it's a dream
Now it isn't in my nature to ever pick a winner
I always pick a bastard who would have me for his dinner
I can never possess the object of my desire
Cause he's bound to turn out to be a serial liar
OK I didn't mention my kids, I thought I'd wait a bit
But I am free and single and he's a lying git
Cause he lied about his status
He lied about his life
He forgot he had three children
He forgot he had a wife
And it's England 2 Colombia 0
I know just how those Colombians feel
So I got into a taxi and sobbed all the way home
Called my friend up in Sao Paulo and cried down the phone
I played some tragic music and I lay down to die
But later I woke and I hadn't stopped crying
You should never have kissed me, you tasted of deceit
Your perfume was Adultery but I'm not a piece of meat
So I'll be the one that you couldn't acquire
I found out in time you're a serial liar
You lied about your status
You lied about your life
And I pity your three children
And I pity your poor wife
Now you can go to Hell
I'm going to Brazil
Still it's England 2 Colombia 0
And when you asked me out I really was delighted
So we went to a pub in Belsize Park
And we cheered on England as the sky grew dark
Oh you shouldn't have kissed me cause you started a fire
But then I found out that you're a serial liar
You lied about your status
You lied about your life
You never mentioned your three children
And the fact you have a wife
Now it's England 2 Colombia 0
And I know just how those Colombians feel
If you hadn't passed out while I was talking to your friend
It could have really ended badly cause you very nearly had me
If he hadn't taken pity on my heart full of desire
I might never have found out you're a serial liar
You lied about your status
You lied about your life
You forgot you have three children
You forgot you have a wife
Now it's England 2 Colombia 0
And I know just how those Colombians feel
It is not in my nature to ever pick the winning team
Sometimes I think I'm happy then I remember it's a dream
Now it isn't in my nature to ever pick a winner
I always pick a bastard who would have me for his dinner
I can never possess the object of my desire
Cause he's bound to turn out to be a serial liar
OK I didn't mention my kids, I thought I'd wait a bit
But I am free and single and he's a lying git
Cause he lied about his status
He lied about his life
He forgot he had three children
He forgot he had a wife
And it's England 2 Colombia 0
I know just how those Colombians feel

Lyrics
It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
'The Rare Old Mountain Dew'
And I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They've got cars
Big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes
Right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells were ringing
Out for Christmas Day
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip
In that bed
You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lousy faggot*
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God
It's our last
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells were ringing
Out for Christmas Day
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams
From me when I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells were ringing
Out for Christmas Day
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
'The Rare Old Mountain Dew'
And I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one

Lyrics
I was 21 years when I wrote this song
I'm 22 now but I won't be for long
People ask me when will I grow up to understand *1
Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams
I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal you put me on the pill *2
I don't feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another girl? *3
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another girl?
I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I can't survive on what you send
Every time you need a friend
I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another girl?
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another girl?
My dreams were full of strange ideas *4
My mind was set despite your fears
But other things got in the way
I never asked that boy to stay
Once upon a time at home *4
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn't ring I knew it wasn't you
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another girl?
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another?
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another girl?
Looking for another girl?
Looking for another girl?
Looking for another girl?
Girl?
Girl?
Girl?
I'm 22 now but I won't be for long
People ask me when will I grow up to understand *1
Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams

Are you looking for another girl?
Looking for another girl?
Looking for another girl?
Looking for another girl?
Girl?

Celestine
Lyrics
Oh she is hot, she's hot, she's hot
She's just a wild and wicked slut
And she lives inside my head and stops me sleeping
And when I think she's finally gone
Some guy arrives and turns her on
Then she parties until dawn
This can't go onCelestine
Get out my dreams
You're killing me so slowly
So many men, so many fights
So many parties and late nights
She plumbs the depths and hits the heights
That Celestine
She pretends that she can't hear me
She pretends she's nowhere near me
She just goes quiet and pretends that she's not in
But Celestine I know you're there
In your exotic underwear
And you are fixing up your hair now, Celestine
Celestine
Get out my dreams
You're killing me so slowly
My lover looked into my eyes
And I could tell by his surprise
It was not me he saw in there but Celestine
And now it's her that he lusts after
I can hear that wicked laughter
Still he comes to me but I know where he's been
Celestine
Get out my dreams
You're killing me so slowly
Celestine
Get out my dreams
You're killing me so slowly
My lover hasn't got a clue
He doesn't know that he's untrue
And it's not me he makes love to but Celestine
Oh yes she's hot, she's hot, she's hot
I guess she's everything I'm not
And she lives inside my head and stops me sleeping
She's just a wild and wicked slut
And she lives inside my head and stops me sleeping
And when I think she's finally gone
Some guy arrives and turns her on
Then she parties until dawn
This can't go onCelestine
Get out my dreams
You're killing me so slowly
So many men, so many fights
So many parties and late nights
She plumbs the depths and hits the heights
That Celestine
She pretends that she can't hear me
She pretends she's nowhere near me
She just goes quiet and pretends that she's not in
But Celestine I know you're there
In your exotic underwear
And you are fixing up your hair now, Celestine
Celestine
Get out my dreams
You're killing me so slowly
My lover looked into my eyes
And I could tell by his surprise
It was not me he saw in there but Celestine
And now it's her that he lusts after
I can hear that wicked laughter
Still he comes to me but I know where he's been
Celestine
Get out my dreams
You're killing me so slowly
Celestine
Get out my dreams
You're killing me so slowly
My lover hasn't got a clue
He doesn't know that he's untrue
And it's not me he makes love to but Celestine
Oh yes she's hot, she's hot, she's hot
I guess she's everything I'm not
And she lives inside my head and stops me sleeping
What's your opinion of Kirsty?
Do you like her and her music?
Yes, she's great
LisaAuch says:
i loved her
MoonandMagic says:
I've heard her song with the Pogues but didn't know who she was. I like her though she has a powerful voice.
No, she doesn't press my buttons
Days
As a 'thank you' to Kirsty:
Days
Lyrics
Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me
I bless the light
I bless the light that lights on you believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day believe me
Days I'll remember all my life
Days when you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's alright
Now I'm not frightened of this world believe me
I wish today could be tomorrow
The night is long
It just brings sorrow let it wait
Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me
Days I'll remember all my life
Days when you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's alright
Now I'm not frightened of this world believe me
Days
Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me
I bless the light
I bless the light that lights on you believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day believe me
Days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me
I bless the light
I bless the light that lights on you believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day believe me
Days I'll remember all my life
Days when you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's alright
Now I'm not frightened of this world believe me
I wish today could be tomorrow
The night is long
It just brings sorrow let it wait
Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me
Days I'll remember all my life
Days when you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's alright
Now I'm not frightened of this world believe me
Days
Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me
I bless the light
I bless the light that lights on you believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day believe me

Summary
I hope that this does justice (albeit briefly) to your feelings about a great artiste and unique talent. If you've not encountered her or her music before, let's hope it will encourage you to sample a little of her discography.[The author is independent of commercial interest or sponsorship and cannot endorse any products or advertising material attached to this lens.
