lyrics

I’m a Good Girl
A quiet girl
Who’s been sailing for months to the end of the world
To work for a lady, tend her fine home
Marry a stranger, run house of my own

Male continues to laugh at her distress. She rises. The soundscape fades as the song music and the female character become more focused:

I’m a good girl
A quiet girl
Survived this long voyage to the end of the world
Now there’s two thousand men waiting here on the pier
And I want to go home
I can’t show my face
Cos they might see my tears
As they pour out their filth
Into my delicate ears
Blackguards screaming at us from the rough ready shore

MALE:

“Look fellas, there’s another bloody boatload of whores”

FEMALE:
I’m a good girl
A quiet girl
Survived a long voyage to the end of the world
Now I wish I had never stepped onto the pier
Oh, I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
Spotlight on female character. Male retreats into black
Now that I’m here.
