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
