For The Girl

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 Well, she said I know, but I just can't tell
 Everything that you've just been saying
 Lucy was there as well in the dark
 When the kids in the band were playing
 No-one can hear a word I tell
 What the girl was singing
 See, she must've been 16 or 18
 I'm just past caring
 She was into the Stones when
 I was into the Roses
 She was breaking my bones when
 I was busting their noses
 She would tell me a secret
 I would lose it the next day
 Young love pleases you easy
 Makes you sick in a bad way
 And all the while the girls sang
 "La-la-la," she sang
 Kickings for my sweetheart
 Bruises that I just don't miss
 And she said, "I can't love you any more than this!"
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 Oh, she said, she said, "No, no, no, no"
 Then again, "Yes, why don't you kill me?"
 I said, "Wait a minute, stop right there
 Sweetheart, you know that don't thrill me"
 Said I would've been there if only you had been a little bit nicer
 I was dead by Sunday, half dead skint just trying to please her
 She was getting the pills when
 I was into her best friend
 She was chasing the thrills
 And living down at the West End
 She was pretty in braces
 I lived out of her window
 She said, "Take me to London"
 Tell me something I don't know
 And all the while the girls sang
 "La-la-la," she sang
 Kickings for my sweetheart
 Bruises that I just don't miss
 And she said, "I can't love you any more than this!"
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 She was into the Stones when
 I was into the Roses
 She was breaking my bones when
 I was busting their noses
 She would tell me a secret
 I would lose it the next day
 Young love pleases you easy
 Makes you sick in a bad way
 And all the while the girls sang
 "La la la," she sang
 Kickings for my sweetheart
 Bruises that I just don't miss
 And she said, "I don't like you
 You can't stand me
 I can't love you any more than this"
