lyrics

Fabulous Girl

She thought that they would marry
Til he was lured by something new
And so, just like Carrie,
She got drunk in some brand new shoes
"Why did he go away?"
"Why wouldn't anyone stay with a
Fabulous Girl?"

She throws away the paper
Sometimes she can't believe her eyes
She wonders what they pay her
To betray and scandalise
The famous and dumb,
The MP and the "Supermum"
And the Fabulous Girl

Every day's a new barrage
The street's a shifting, shock-collage
The fever dreams of magazines
That claim to celebrate
Then cut her down to size 8
Are they so afraid of a girl who's made it?

She was kinda happy
To hear the pleading in his voice
So now he wants to marry
Now she'll have to make her choice
Oh, I hope you stay true
To your power to choose,
Fabulous Girl
