Lonely Girls - Suede

Stephanie stares at the posters on the wall

Tina sits and waits for a telephone call

Maxine mixes alcohol with polythene and paint

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

And lonely girls lonely girls fill the world

Oh Julia dreams while she’s typing away

Jackie kills time while the company pays

Tracy still hears 808s ringing in her brain

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

Yeah lonely girls lonely girls fill the world

And they smile through the summer

And laugh in the rain

And sing through the winter

But never show the pain

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

Where lonely girls lonely girls fill the world
