Letra da Música 17 de Lilac Time

I was born in Birmingham but soon I would escape
With education incomplete and two songs on a tape.
When my girlfriend was expelled we took the London coach
Her sister gave her daffodils her mother an old brooch
And she smiled and she smiled and she smiled.
She was so beautiful
17.

We didn't have much money then no hi-fi or t.v.
So we made love I'd sing her songs and she would read to me
But we were young I didn't know what love was all about
And when I slept with her best friend of course she threw me out.
And we cried and we cried and we cried.
She was so beautiful
17.

I was looking for a deal looking for a hit
The affectations of success the air that goes with it.
While she was looking for a man who didn't need a maid,
She modeled for an agency who made sure she got paid
When she smiled and she smiled and she smiled.
She was so beautiful
17.

I was an empty headed libertine
