For the Girl

[Intro]
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

[Verse 1]
Well she said, "I know but I just can't tell
Everything that you've just been saying"
Lucy was there as well in the dark
When the kids in the band were playing
No one could hear a word or tell
What the girl was singing
She just must've been 16 or 18
I'm just past caring

[Chorus 1]
She was into the Stones when
I was into the Roses
She was breaking my bones when
I was busting their noses
She would tell me a secret
I would lose it the next day
Young love pleases you easy
Makes you sick in a bad way

[Post-Chorus]
And all the while the girl sang
La la la la, she sang
Kickings for my sweetheart
Bruises that I just don't miss
And she said, "I can't love you anymore than this"

[Interlude]
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

[Verse 2]
Oh, she said, she said, "No no no no"
Then again, "Yes, why don't you kill me?"
I said, "Wait a minute, stop right there
Sweetheart, you know that don't thrill me"
Said, "I would've been there
If only you had been a little bit nicer"
I was dead by Sunday
Half dead skint just trying to please her

[Chorus 2]
She was getting me pills when
I was into her best friend
She was chasing the thrills and
Living out in the West End
She was pretty in places
I lived under her window
She said, "Take me to London
Tell me something I don't know"

[Post-Chorus]
And all the while the girl sang
La la la la, she sang
Kickings for my sweetheart
Bruises that I just don't miss
And she said, "I can't love you anymore than this"

[Interlude]
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

[Chorus 1]
She was into the Stones when
I was into the Roses
She was breaking my bones when
I was busting their noses
She would tell me a secret
I would lose it the next day
Young love pleases you easy
Makes you sick in a bad way

[Post-Chorus]
And all the while the girl sang
La la la la, she sang
Kickings for my sweetheart
Bruises that I just don't miss

[Outro]
And she said, "I don't like you, you can't stand me
I can't love you anymore than this"
