The Night That Minnie Timperley Died Songtext

von Pulp

"There's a light that shines on everything & everyone. & it shines so bright - brighter even than the sun". That's what Minnie thinks as she walks to meet her brother, who is nearly two years older, on a Saturday night. He's DJ-ing at some do on the edge of town on the night that Minnie Timperley died. It's such a beautiful world, you're such a beautiful girl. So much that you want to try, the world wants to sleep with you tonight. But Minnie, Minnie if I could I would give you the rest of my life. How can a girl have sex with these pathetic teenage wrecks? Football scarves, the girls drink halves & her brother's crying 'cos he has lost his decks. Outside the air was cool, an older guy sitting in his car asked if Minnie needed a ride. He thought he was still dangerous - paunchy, but dangerous - on the night that Minnie Timperley died. It's such a beautiful world, you're such a beautiful girl. & he only did what he did 'cos you looked like one of his kids. But Minnie, Minnie if I could I would give you the rest of my life. Minnie. Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain. Oh yeah
