Chemical Emily Songtext
von Lenoy Barkai

Chemical Emily wanted to be something bigger
Than what she was born with
Eschewing the moderate, dreamt of conglomerates
Rising up out of the oceans
Make no mistake, at an earlier date
She′d be burnt at the stake for ambition
But though times have changed some old flames never age
She's been fighting a war of attrition

Chemical Emily: the greatest conspiracy the world never got to see
Chemical Emily: won′t you come back to me

Chemical Emily stood on the balcony enjoying a beer and a ciggie
She made a pact, had a plan of attack,
Made right there in the heart of the city
Make no mistake, she was born of the Cape
But she danced to the music of Joburg
And when the going got loud down at her favourite club,
That's 'cause when she′s there the crowd′s coming over


Chemical Emily: the greatest conspiracy the world never got to see
Chemical Emily: won't you come back to me

A whiskey on Long, with her girl arm-in-arm,
Is all that she ever did need
A boy in a band in the palm of her hand
Playing her favourite song on repeat
Oh Chemical Emily

The greatest conspiracy the world never got to see
Chemical Emily: won′t you come back to me
Chemical Emily
Ooh Chemical Emily

A whiskey on Long, with her girl arm-in-arm,
Is all that she ever did need (Chemical Emily)
A boy in a band in the palm of her hand
Playing her favourite song on repeat (Ooh)
Oh Chemical Emily

The greatest conspiracy the world never got to see
Chemical Emily: won't you come back to me
Chemical Emily: the greatest conspiracy the world never got to see
Chemical Emily: won′t you come home to me
