lyrics

GIRL ON THE BOOKCASE

if the girl on the bookcase
sees the woman in the purse
would she recognise her future face?
would she think she'd been cursed?
would she ask what happened
a slow erosion or in a blink
from the angel to the dull-eyed sow
lost in a sea of drink?

girl on the bookcase
drinking lemonade polaroid exposure
your smile will never fade
girl on the bookcase sandcastles you made
sunny summer seaside
that's where she should have stayed

if the woman locked in the purse
could reach the bookcase girl
would she hit her like a stolen hearse
or treasure her like a pearl?
would she tell her about disillusion
and the world of lies
the joyless jobs pushing people
out the frame of their own lives?

girl on the bookcase
drinking lemonade
polaroid exposure
your smile will never fade
girl on the bookcase
sandcastles you made
sunny summer seaside
that's where she should have stayed
