“BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND” 30 May 93

When I was younger
all I really wanted
was a beautiful girlfriend

I could tell the world
how wonderful she is
and sometimes I might be dumb

but that’s the way nature made me

we beat the ugly world to the floor
there’s nothing I want more
than a beautiful girlfriend

When I was younger
I wanted to be a novelist
or an astronaut

but you cant have any feelings
you cant have any failings
and have perfect eyesight

you cant always get what you want

but there’s my beautiful girlfriend
she’s more important than the little things
that try to tear a hole in our world.
