This was written in 1981 and recorded in February 2018.
"You're a lovely girl to look at
But you don't figure in my plans.
Your casual unpleasantness
And petty prejudice offends.
You belittle what you don't know
And suck up to current trends.
Go break your virgin grace and wit
In on someone else.
You're a lovely girl to look at
And you know it, I'm afraid.
Why bother to make an effort
When you've good looks on parade.
Always the belle of every ball,
Daddy's little girl
Has been cushioned from all catastrophe
In this rich man's world.
And, behold, a brat, who's shallow,
Irrational, condescending!
A perfect match for someone
With a gift for backward bending!
Who, bedazzled by the surface bits
Fails to see the boor.
Go buy yourself an Action Man,
You don't live here any more.
Go parcel up your tempers,
Your hysterics and your traumas,
Go pack away the black moods
And the tacky melodramas;
And don't forget the little girl act.
Oh, she of the snivel and pout.
And bottles full of migraine,
You mustn't leave without.
Childish tantrum, put down,
Point score and like like,
With measured scorn and sly deceit,
Take with you on your bike.
And all the tatty bits and bobs
Of your nasty, Nazi nature,
Go dump the dire dustbin full
On the next fool wants to make you!
You think I'm joking, don't you?
I'm not, I truly hate you..."
