Shine Like A New Pin
Album: Biggest Bluest Hi-fi [2002]

Girl with a thick skin made you shine like a new pin
Why smother urges, which belong under dresses?
Do you wish that you could only start again,

What can I say that will make them jump to my defence?
I value honesty, I could never pretend
Crest fallen boys are boring
I don't know which way I'm going anymore
I can't be sure
Girl with a thick skin made you shine
