Ice Cream Girl

(альбом: Lloyd Cole - 1990)

Maybe I'm a little old-fashioned
Maybe you're a little unkind
Maybe I'm a little impatient
Well, come see about mine
You won't give me your number
You won't give me your time
You said meet me on the corner
And there's still no sign

Maybe I'm a little outdated
Maybe a little out of time
To believe your heart is in the right place
Despite what you're doing to mine
So I'm standing on the corner
Looking like I don't care

Do you want to crucify my feelings with your fingernails?
And leave the loneliest boy in the western world
Cruising the streets for an ice cream girl

I feel like a shady politician
Trying to sell a broken-down car
To a sleeping virgin princess
You know that's not what you are
Do I have to feel this small
Before you'll play ball?
Maybe I lack sophistication
Maybe a little unrefined
So my credit ain't too good
Well, can't a dollar love a dime?
You won't give me your number
You won't give me your time
I'm standing on the corner
And there's still no sign

Do you want to crucify my feelings with your fingernails?
And leave the loneliest boy in the western world
Cruising the streets for an ice cream girl
