Press PLAY to listen to Newspaper Girl
VERSE 1
She's not taken by surprise at the look in your eyes,
And it's so easy to see.
That she don't realise that the tears in your eyes
Are nothing to do with me.
By the way that you stare she can tell that you care,
But caring's not nearly enough.
If life was that fair she could live anywhere,
Instead every night she sleeps rough.
CHORUS
But things never turn out the way they should,
Swallow hard - you never thought that they would.
You did the only thing that you could,
Pretending freedom only gets this good.
But things always look worse in the day light,
Until the night time comes, you know that ain't right.
But at the end of the tunnel there's light,
Same time same place again tomorrow night.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
CHORUS
VERSE 2
Cold breath warms cold hands as in the moonlight she stands,
She tries in vain to warm up.
A man with winter tan with odd change in his hand,
Drops a coin in the bottom of her cup.
She is only sixteen, not a teenage dream,
But this teenager's dream is surreal.
If your eyes should meet while she lies in the street,
Tell me now, how do you feel?
CHORUS x 2
