Girl in Grass Songtext

von Dylan Mondegreen

When your girlfriend let you down
Made you the laughing-stock of town
A minor mistake
Caused major heartache

When your friend forgot to show
And you stood there all alone
A small detail
Was added to a trail

Of bad affairs
Of people who don't seem to care
But when your heart breaks
You feel the sweetest ache

In a riot of colour you see blue
And you'd like the world to tremble for you
Still your eyes may twinkle just like stars
When Ginger's lying flat out on the grass

Put your favourite t-shirt on
And let summer come along
Rejoice in the photograph
Of girl in grass

You may be charmed on saturday
Feel smitten on sunday
Now monday's here
And you're caught by fear

So you hibernate indoors
Spend all day in bed because
Every petty fling
Seems like the greatest thing

Since bread came sliced
Or at least since Bread sang Yours For Life
You want your heart to break
To feel the sweetest ache

In a riot of colour you see blue
And you'd like the world to tremble for you
Still your eyes may twinkle just like stars
When Ginger's lying flat out on the grass

Put your favourite t-shirt on
And let summer come along
Let all your troubles pass
Girl in grass
