Julie

Julie was a lonely girl She said she was born that way She always felt that way She left home at age sixteen Got a job what you're supposed to do That's what you've got to do She fell in love and settled down In a council place there on the edge of town She'd feel alone in a crowded room Cry when she heard a happy tune It would be nice to holiday Till they took her job away They just took her life away Doing nothing isn't fun When you've nothing from which to run You've nowhere left to run She'd visit the social every day Every time be turned away Every time be turned away She'd feel alone in a crowded room Cry when she heard a happy tune Julie waits, her world is her window And Julie hates, she hates the world below A hundred stairs to her new room Over glass and blackened spoons Children grow old so soon Past the kids who gather there Pain masked by narcotic stares But no one really cares Her dreams were cut up and bled dry A million voices in her cry Julie waits, her world is her window And Julie hates, she hates the world below And Julie hates, just what she doesn't know But Julie loves, She loves too much to know --- Julie - The Levellers
