Seventies Girl Lyrics

Seventies Girl lyrics

Down from the attic in your old things

My new girlfriend has a curious streak

Half lit in the hall, she's like you

Twenty years ago



Clothes from a case you'd thrown at me

Orange, yellow, red and chartreuse green

Way back in the day, I lost you

Don't tell me here we go again



Seventies girl, don't come any closer

There's gonna be trouble tonight

You're not staying over



Hey there, seventies girl

Never should have showed her

You wanna be older than you were



She was transcendental then

Her beautiful eyes through your rose specs

Way back, in the day, I loved you

Or something like it anyway



Seventies girl, you've been taken over

You never had a cradle to rock

Now you wanna go there



Hey there, seventies girl

Never should have told her

You wanna be older than you were



We fell apart just like that dress

Then taught ourselves unhappiness

I don't recall much, I confess

But wonder where she's gone



Seventies girl, don't come any closer

There's gonna be trouble tonight

You're not staying over



Hey there, seventies girl

Never should've showed her

You wanna be older than you were
