Manchester Girl Lyrics

She hides in the library reading

 Henry miller books

 'til they flash the lights it's time to go

 When she was a little kid she said

 "dad, i don't know why

 I feel so penniless inside"

 

 She's on the promenade

 She's looking for a dress

 She's locked outside a world

 Just a manchester girl

 

 Oh i'll meet you there

 By the old newsstand

 Oh i'll meet you there tonight

 

 Shoot-out at the neighbor's house

 She pulls the covers on her head

 She's counting the shots as they go by

 And pandora's litter box

 Well it's gettin' mighty high

 That cat's gonna keep her up at night

 

 Another scary dream

 Another cigarette

 She's locked outside a world

 Just a manchester girl

 

 Oh i'll meet you there

 By the old newsstand

 Oh i'll meet you there tonight
