Citizen Jane

WV2133/2025

Watercolours and ink on Steinbach paper.

 

"Oh the press is down

And the flesh is black and white

Eager workers turning the pages

Dirty fingers touch your life

 

All you pretty maids

With all your charms on view

Farm the wasteground in your head now

Your sisters can't get through

 

Oh hey, hey, Citizen Jane

What will your sisters say

Oh they'll say ain't it a shame

After comin' such a long, long way

Citizen Jane

 

Now they're trading skin

And the cause is pushed away

Greedy piggies live on Fleet Street

Dealing meat out every day

 

Oh hey, hey, Citizen Jane

What will your sisters say

Oh they'll say ain't it a shame

After comin' such a long, long way

Citizen Jane..."
