Get Out Alive - Sharp Intake of Breath
Get Out Alive - Sharp Intake of Breath
This sassy number is sung by Billie, the youngest daughter of the family in ‘A Sharp Intake of Breath’. She’s taking a moment to joyfully, freely, and wildly consider that she has no direction in life (that her parents approve of) - and she’s kind of loving it.
“Hey mum, are you feeling proud of your daughter yet? Nah?
Well life’s too short!”
