Manchester Girl - BBC - Eels

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 a neighbor's house

She pulls the covers over her head

She's counting the shots as they go by

In Pandora's litter box

Well, it's getting 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
