Lonely Girls

[Verse 1] Stephanie stares at the posters on the wall Tina sits and waits for a telephone call Maxine mixes alcohol with polythene and paint [Verse 2] Sylvia stays in bed on her own She can hear the cars outside and wonders where they go And if you call her answerphone she'll get back to you one day [Chorus] And lonely girls Lonely girls fill the world [Verse 3] Oh Julia dreams while she's typing away Jackie kills time while the company pays Tracy still hears 808s ringing in her brain [Verse 4] Jane slaps paint on the walls of her home Lydia sings when she thinks she's alone Jean gets drunk and wanders home through the car parks that eat her change [Chorus] Yeah lonely girls Lonely girls fill the world [Bridge] And they smile through the summer And laugh in the rain And sing through the winter But never show the pain [Verse 5] Oh sometimes our lives are not what they seem Sometimes things aren't like they are in lifestyle magazines We see what we want to see In this miracle of clay [Chorus] Where lonely girls Lonely girls fill the world
