“Liza Radley” tells the short but sweet story of a girl who doesn’t quite fit in. Though Liza is alienated by the people who live in her small town, the narrator is infatuated with her.

Liza Radley, see the girl with long hair
See her creeping 'cross summer lawns at midnight
And all the people in the town where we live
Say she's not quite right
She don't fit in with a small town
They just can't understand why she doesn't say much
But in a darkened room, it's for their lives only
She cries
Liza Radley, see her jump through loneliness
Liza Radley, take me when you go
And as the people pass by, their heads in the air
Haunting with their noise, she recalls a lonely sigh
But no matter what they say, in her mind
She knows their dream of life, they won't ever find
And all the people in the town where we live
Say she's not quite right
She don't fit in with a small town
They just can't understand why she doesn't say much
But in a darkened room, it's for their lives only
She cries
Liza Radley, I pledge myself to you alone
She'd kiss my face and say "Love means nothing at all"
She'd kiss my face and say "Life means nothing at all"
Liza Radley was written by Paul Weller.
