Madonna
Inspired by my dad (sometime in 1984 or so) changing the lyrics to "Like A Virgin" to "Like A Harlot", 13-year-old me picked it up and ran with it:
I didn't get my dole cheque
it never made it through
never knew how broke I was
til I met you
I was fucked
out of luck
I was poor
I was in the wars*
but you maaaaaade me feel
like becoming a whore...
Like a harlot
Touched for the 375th time...
Gonna give ya gonorreah
my herpes fading fast
gonna give it all to you
in return for cash
(Errr.... forgotten the rest, understandably enough I didn't keep my notes)
*"in the wars" is an expression both of my nanna's used to use upon injury - I present with a grazed knee, they respond with "Oooh, you've been in the wars haven't you?" Of course in those days "the wars" were just a few minor airline hijackings, nothing to what we have today, lucky lucky us.
