Empty Girl - The Soft Boys

You are just an empty girl

Empty in your body and your mind

Waiting to be filled up with somebody’s life

I swear it won’t be mine

Beautifully vacant like an

Ornamental dustbin with no lid

Swallowing the offal from the creeping cow

She’s grateful that you did

I don’t know why I look at you this way

There’s nothing else to do I guess it comes on you in blotches and it goes away

like somebody’s disease

And if I found a reason for this love I’d go and plant her in a trees

Away up on a hill there’d be so much to kill

There’d be so much to fight for and I wouldn’t care if you were there

(fill you with leaf mold.tadpoles.)

You are just an empty girl

You look divine but honey please don’t speak

The diamond is rancid I wish I was the worm beneath your cheek

Of all the vampires I have known none of them have ever left the night

You look like an angel as you suck up other peoples' light

And I don’t know why I look at you at all

My friends keep telling me that you’re a round and nasty drag

I wish you’d emigrate or live in a bassoon

And every time they played it you’d come dribbling out into an old spitoon

Oh, dribble out

You are just an empty girl

Empty empty empty all the time

Yeah

Looking for a petrol pump to shoot you full of pleasantries and slime

Yes you are

Yes you are

Yes you are

Yes you are

Yes you are

Yes you are

Yes you are

Yes you are

Yes you are

Yes you are

Yes you are

Yes you are
