Emily
(专辑: Go And Ask Peggy For The Principal Thing - 1997)
Emily's going out tonight with a
candle in her pocket and a
lighter in her right hand. Does anybody know why she's gonna go? She's nearly out of sight. Emily's out tonight. So familiar, how ladylike the
old girl comes along. She's ninety something, dressed up and wide awake. A
little slow, but going strong. She's paid off the
overdraft for the
TV she has bought in '84. She's been paying all her lifetime, but now she's gonna pay no more. Deep religious, she went to mass on every Sunday morning. She's believing in God but she don't like the
priest (he's new in town, and very boring). She's listened to his sermon well though she's heard the
same one hundred times before. She's heard them all her lifetime, but now she's gonna listen anymore. She's gonna do it today, she's going make it today she's gonna do it, gonna do it, gonna do it. Emily's going out tonight with a
candle in her pocket and a
lighter in her right hand. Does anybody know why she's gonna go away? She's gonna make it today. She's very friendly, an open minded and always understanding. Bad behavior she doesn't like at all. She's very modest, she's never been demanding. She's always followed every rule, though she didn't even know what they've been for. She has followed all her lifetime, but now she's gonna follow anymore. She's gonna do it today, she's gonna make it today she's gonna do it, gonna do it, gonna do it right now. She's going make the
world go round (and round and round...) she's gonna make it today... She's gonna do it, gonna do it, gonna do it. Emily's going out tonight with a
candle in her pocket and a
lighter in her right hand. Does anybody know why she's gonna go away? Emily's going out tonight with a
candle in her pocket and a
lighter in her right hand. Does anybody know, where she's gonna go today? She's gonna go away, she's gonna go today. Emily's going out tonight with a
candle in her pocket and a
lighter in her right hand. Does anybody know where she's gonna go? Se's nearly out of sight. Emily's out tonight...
