I know a gingerbread girl with diamonds for eyes and a necklace of pearls
She's got a message for me she said I got to be free so stop following me
I saw a petulant lip with a hint of surprise what a colourful trip
I heard every word that she said as we sat on her bed we got drunker instead
And when she opened up
I saw a brimming cup
I'm so glad that gingerbread girl's been bred right
I know a gingerbread girl with her own pot of honey and a head with no curls
She's got her own recipe and she showed it to me as she sat on my knee
We cooked till our fingers were raw and when the oven was hot we opened the door
And on the tray was revealed a wound that was healed a fate that was sealed
And when she laughs with me
I know the sky is free
I'm so glad that gingerbread girl's been bred right
If you meet gingerbread girl tell her I'm in a hurry and my head's in a whirl
Is she as excited as me to be or not to be that's the prospect you see
And when she does arrive
Her face will touch the sky
I'm so glad the gingerbread girl's been bred right
Hugh Alan Cornwell (nato il 28 aprile 1949) è un cantautore e chitarrista britannico, noto soprattutto per essere stato il frontman e chitarrista principale dei The Stranglers dal 1974 al 1990. Cornwell ha contribuito a definire l'immagine musicale del gruppo con la sua voce roca e le sue melodie dark, influenzate da punk rock, new wave e musica classica. Durante la sua permanenza negli Stranglers, ha scritto alcuni dei loro brani più iconici come "Always the Sun", "Golden Brown" e "No More Heroes". Dopo aver lasciato il gruppo nel 1990, Cornwell si è dedicato alla carriera solista, pubblicando oltre dieci album in studio. La sua musica da solista mantiene le caratteristiche distintive del suo stile: melodie accattivanti, testi introspettivi e un'atmosfera dark che lo hanno reso uno dei cantautori più apprezzati della scena britannica. Tra i suoi album solista più noti figurano "Hooverville" (1990) e "The Ballad of the Great Divide" (2006).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
