Suicide Girl - Belle & Sebastian

My friend,

She wants,

To be a suicide girl.

I’ll take her picture,

For the whole wide world.

I’ve known her for a long time,

You could say that I’m a fan,

But I always thought that I would be her man.

My friend,

She wants,

To be the girl of suicide.

She wants a number,

For her radical side.

I know that she is special,

I can see what she has got,

But without her gloves and garnered clothes (?)

She will take them to the world,

Exposed, she gives it all away.

My friend,

She sometimes gets anxiety and stress.

She got a man,

From the NHS.

She proclaims a week of sadness!

She’s abstained from telling jokes!

The world will see her poor image, (?)

A butterfly to empathy.

I know that I can do it,

I’m in to light, I’m in to shade.

But let’s face the facts,

We ain’t goin' back,

When she takes off her clothes we’ll never be the same again!
