Girl About Town

Helen Love


See that girl running around
She used to play in a band in town
Had an electric guitar covered in stars
The big, bad queen of the music scene

She got signed to a record label
Spent the advance on a pinball table
Sold a hundred records to all her friends
Now she's back again

She lives in a flat halfway up in the sky
Goes out with her boy into the MC5s
Wears a different t-shirt every night
With 'Access all areas' pinned on tight

See her running around
She's the girl about town that you heard of
See her running around
She's the girl about town that you heard of
See her running around
She's the girl about town that you heard of
Girl about town that you heard of
Girl about town that you heard of

See that girl lying under the bar
She used to be a rock'n'roll star
Smoked cigarettes with Joan Jett in America

She got her picture in Rolling Stone
She was third from the left behind Joey Ramone
You couldn't see her face
But I'm sure she looked great anyway

She lives in a flat halfway up in the sky
Goes out with her boy into the MC5s
She's be OK if he didn't hit her
Or go to bed with the babysitter

See her running around
She's the girl about town that you heard of
See her running around
She's the girl about town that you heard of
See her running around
She's the girl about town that you heard of
Girl about town that you heard of
Girl about town that you heard of

Girl about town that you heard of
Girl about town that you heard of
Girl about town that you heard of
Girl about town that you heard of
Girl about town that you heard of
Girl about town that you heard of
Girl about town that you heard of
