lyrics

culture cross – Michelle Rounds

girl in the middle
neither black nor white
mixed breed, half-caste
never wrong, never right

can cut it in society
can cut it on the street
she’s just like Sonny Rollins’ saxophone
long, hard and sweet

chorus
culture cross
never at a loss
adaptable, versatile, flexible and volatile
culture cross

culture cross
never at a loss
just coloured

boy in the middle
sent him off to war
he was mixed breed, half-caste
no perfection, no flaw

met the girl in the middle
and blew her right away
they’ll think of each other with love and lust
forever and a day

chorus

bridge
where would he be
where would she be
without he
without he
