Girl In Grass

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
