Tender Trap

That Girl

Album: Film Molecules [2002]

She would never believe 

What she was told in school

All of their history 

And their geography 

Better to read Patti Smith 

& Simone de Beauvoir 

To know how things are... 

 

That girl, that girl has a second degree in the language of cool 

That girl, that girl had a copy of Her Jazz when she was at school 

 

She likes to play Suzy Quattro 

While she sits and reads 

Bought it at Woolworths 

For one pound fifty 

She knows the record was made 

Long before she was born 

But it speaks to her 

Louder than Korn 

 

That girl, that girl knows all there is to know about record sleeve art 

That girl, that girl thinks Yoko is a hero, Lennon was a tart 

 

Her record collection 

Separates women from men 

Sometimes she lets them mingle 

Then breaks it up again 

 

That girl, that girl knows all there is to know about record sleeve art 

That girl, that girl thinks that Travis are boring, Le Tigre are smart
