That Girl


She would never believe 
What she was told in school
All of their history 
And their geography 
Better to read Patti Smith 
& Simone de Beauvoir 
To know how things are... 
 
That girl, that girl has a second degree in the language of cool 
That girl, that girl had a copy of Her Jazz when she was at school 
 
She likes to play Suzy Quattro 
While she sits and reads 
Bought it at Woolworths 
For one pound fifty 
She knows the record was made 
Long before she was born 
But it speaks to her 
Louder than Korn 
 
That girl, that girl knows all there is to know about record sleeve art 
That girl, that girl thinks Yoko is a hero, Lennon was a tart 
 
Her record collection 
Separates women from men 
Sometimes she lets them mingle 
Then breaks it up again 
 
That girl, that girl knows all there is to know about record sleeve art 
That girl, that girl thinks that Travis are boring, Le Tigre are smart
