Lonely Girls

Stephanie stares at the posters on the wall
Tina sits and waits for a telephone call
Maxine mixes alcohol
With polythene and paintSylvia stays in bed on her own
She can hear the cars outside
And wonders where they go
And if you call her answer phone
She'll get back to you one dayAnd lonely girls
Lonely girls fill the worldOh, Julia dreams while she's typing away
Jackie kills time while the company pays
Tracy still hears 808 ringing in her brainJane slaps paints on the walls of her home
Lydia sings when she thinks she's alone
Jean gets drunk and wonders home
Through the car parks that need her changeYeah, lonely girls
Lonely girls fill the worldAnd they smile through the summer
And laugh in the rain
And singing through the winter
But never show the painOh, 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 clayWell, lonely girls
Lonely girls fill the world
