Lyrics for This Year’s Girl - Live At The Regent Theatre, 1978

See her picture in a thousand places 'Cause she's this year's girl You pick her out of little pieces Out of this year's girl Forget your fans and manners Forget your English grammar 'Cause you don't really give a damn About this year's girl Turn your open-air shields on smoking 'Cause she's this year's girl You might have broken in the mouth that opened 'Cause she's this year's girl Never know where is the real attraction How the smile will serve your satisfaction Why she's being but too distracted Being this year's girl Time's running out She's not happy with the cost There'll be no doubt Only she's forgotten much why they're so lost Pass back, man, climb in the market This year's girl You see yourself rolling out the carpet With this year's girl Those disco synthesizer Those daily tranquilizers Those biting building prices Those bedroom alibis All this but no surprises With this year's girl All this but no surprises With this year's girl All this but no surprises With this year's girl Yeah
