Stephen Duffy - The Girl Of The Year lyrics

She's the girl of the year of course Looking down like she's on a horse She rubs the world out of her eyes Votive candles where she lies That was last year In the meantime She has done a lot too quickly What a lovely feeling Now her heart's beating Now, now that the past has gone Carry on, carry on There's a moon behind the clouds Carry on, carry on She closed the book on her plaster saints All the old ways and constraints She can't believe that she was so blah Now she walks if they send a car I suppose she was frightened Under jasmine She doesn't seem so anxious What a lovely feeling Now her heart's beating Lullabys for those a-sleeping The words you say she can't hear I can't breathe Heartfelt thank you's serenade her dreams What a lovely feeling To feel her heart beating
