about

commissioned by the makers of the movie of the same name about Wellington literary figure Sheila Natusch.

lyrics

Ain’t it pretty, ain’t it grand, expectations all be damned…no ordinary
sheila
no compliance, no complaint, no regrets & no restraint, No ordinary
Sheila
socialite or movie star, a princess or a Queen
either way she wouldn’t wanna be ya
High falutin’, nosiree, she is just content to be….no ordinary sheila.

2.
She's a gal who shuns a car, rides her bike both near and far - no ordinary Sheila
Constellations in her sights, scanning skies on inky nights - no Ordinary Sheila
in her little Bumbleboat, she sails across the Bay
In Cook Strait the weather needs a Keeler
Sez she's off around Cape Horn, Sunday at the crack of dawn - no ordinary Sheila.

3.
Husband Gilbert at her side, tramping, climbing far and wide - No ordinary Sheila
Shunning folk who cause offence - silly fights and arguments - No ordinary Sheila
Oligarchs and misanthropes, scoundrels ,rogues and knaves
Anxious people searching for a Healer,
out with toxic strain and stress, and you can be like - can you guess!! - No Ordinary Sheila!!
