The Girl

The girl in the gold-rimmed spectacles Lips red bright Face that once was alive Now show the lines That life betrayed Flowing blond hair But not below The guy in the ten-bob suit Hitting his final pursuit Marriage past the rocks stage Showing his age Just wants a woman Just wants to re-engage Turn the page The girl in the gold rimmed spectacles The guy in the ten bob suit Life gave them the same road They were always destined to meet Lips red bright Her flowing blond hair But not below The guy in the ten-Bob suit Fifty quid discrete He didn’t really care When he got downstairs The knife entered his neck Taking him further away The girl in the gold-rimmed spectacles Lips red bright Her flowing blond hair But not below. Not below.
