This gem of a song is a tribute to the late beautiful actress Carol White who died sadly in 1991 aged 48, her life cut short by suspected drugs overdose or liver disease from alcoholism which also initially destroyed her career. A great little actress and it's easy to see why she is aptly named the Battersea Bardot.
With your hair so white you could light up the night Burning out like a shooting star From the stage to The Squeeze, from TV to striptease I loved you in the back of my car Nobody's gonna tell you what to do Nobody's gonna mess around with you You'll never give up the fight, not Carol White Cathy come home, where have you been, It's been so long since you went away From monochrome to the silver screen, The Battersea Bardot, that's what they say With that smile in your eyes you could tell me no lies Play it hard, take the smooth with the rough Just a pearl in world full of users of girls One jump ahead for a while, not long enough Nobody's gonna tell you what to do Nobody's gonna mess around with you You'll never give up the fight, not Carol White
Watching REEL BRITANNIA on BritBox & hearing about her story & how Hollywood essentially destroyed her once she left the UK. So sad. Glad to learn of this tribute to her.

With your hair so white you could light up the night
Burning out like a shooting star
From the stage to The Squeeze, from TV to striptease
I loved you in the back of my car
Nobody's gonna tell you what to do
Nobody's gonna mess around with you
You'll never give up the fight, not Carol White
Cathy come home, where have you been,
It's been so long since you went away
From monochrome to the silver screen,
The Battersea Bardot, that's what they say
With that smile in your eyes you could tell me no lies
Play it hard, take the smooth with the rough
Just a pearl in world full of users of girls
One jump ahead for a while, not long enough
Nobody's gonna tell you what to do
Nobody's gonna mess around with you
You'll never give up the fight, not Carol White
MERCI.
