“Marilyn’s Pencil Skirt”
When he paints his eyes
Slips right through your fingers
Paints the London sky
The million purple and blue
Who thought that it was summer and the night looked like a boot
I’m Marilyn when she’s hurt
I’m Marilyn’s pencil skirt
I’m Marilyn in a rage
Running, crying from the stage
I’m Marilyn leaving every party
I’m Marilyn leaving every party
All the boys love other boys
When they look like you
Find a boy who doesn’t care
And try to make them love you
If you get bored with blaming yourself
Just blame someone else
If you get bored with blaming yourself
Just blame someone me
See I’m just like you
See I’m just like you
I’m Marilyn when she’s hurt
I’m Marilyn’s pencil skirt
I’m Marilyn in a rage
In a taxi, whiskey straight
I’m Marilyn leaving every party
I’m Marilyn leaving every party
See we’re just like you
See we’re just like you
Set on fire
