Lyrics to The Girl in the Window

He writes as he tilts his head

To catch the whispering, up with

The hiss of tape recorders

But there ain't nobody there

Oh no, there ain't nobody there

Then he goes out to the shops

That line up outside his house

He'll always pause at his reflection

But there ain't nobody there

Oh no, there ain't nobody there

But he's got friends behind the glass

"How much you want for the girl in the window

I'll give you twice whatever you think she's worth

I'll give you all that and more to see her cured"

He has and argument with his lover

She'd slipped poisonous snakes into his supper

Every night since they'd first met

Though she pretends that she forgets

Now he puts his collar up,

And goes back out to the shops

To settle a bet with his supplier

As his lover wakes up wet

Well secured and coloured in

Now she's safely pressed underneath the glass

Oh yeah, she's safely pressed underneath the glass

"How much you want for the girl in the window?

I'll give you twice whatever you think she's worth

I'll give you all that and more to see her cured."
