This Years Girl — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

See her picture in a thousand places

cause shes this years girl.

You think you all own little pieces

Of this years girl.

Forget your fancy manners,

Forget your english grammar,

cause you dont really give a damn

About this years girl.



Still youre hoping that shes well spoken

cause shes this years girl.

You want her broken with her mouth wide open

cause shes this years girl.

Never knowing its a real attraction,

All these promises of satisfaction,

While shes being bored to distraction

Being this years girl.



Times running out. shes not happy with the cost.

Thered be no doubt, only shes forgotten

Much more than shes lost.



A bright spark might corner the market

In this years girl.

You see yourself rolling on the carpet

With this years girl.

Those disco synthesizers,

Those daily tranquilizers,

Those body building prizes,

Those bedroom alibis,

All this, but no surprises for this years girl.

All this, but no surprises for this years girl.

All this, but no surprises for this years girl.
