This Year`s Girl — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

See her picture in a thousand places
`cause she`s this year`s girl.
You think you all own little pieces
of this year`s girl.
Forget your fancy manners,
forget your English grammar,
`cause you don`t really give a damn
about this year`s girl.

Still you`re hoping that she`s well spoken
`cause she`s this year`s girl.
You want her broken with her mouth wide open
`cause she`s this year`s girl.
Never knowing it`s a real attraction,
all these promises of satisfaction,
while she`s being bored to distraction
being this year`s girl.

Time`s running out. She`s not happy with the cost.
There`d be no doubt, only she`s forgotten
much more than she`s lost.

A bright spark might corner the market
in this year`s girl.
You see yourself rolling on the carpet
with this year`s girl.
Those disco synthesizers,
those daily tranquilizers,
those body building prizes,
those bedroom alibis,
all this, but no surprises for this year`s girl.
All this, but no surprises for this year`s girl.
All this, but no surprises for this year`s girl.
