The Naughtiest Girl Is A Monitor Lyrics

I tried to survive these garrisons

Of sweethearts with cataplexies,

These possum tricks,

I'm dead not sick,

I'm dead not sick.



Teenage landscapes make paragons

Of animal behaviours and these

Teenage landscapes make heroines

With the salt of...



Teenage landscapes make paragons

Of animal behaviours and these

Teenage landscapes make heroines

With the salt of foolishness;

The foolishness of shedding salt.



Oh, this is what Maddy said

She said it was a case of not knowing too much at all,

All broken up with things like Fitzgerald's wall,

The kids drawings, the black pens, the skateboards,



Feltro and the practice field,

Her face behind school mapped up like a line-graph, the windscreen,

The fact it was over when you pinned me,

It was over when I pinned you.



This is what Maddy said

She said it was a case of not knowing too much at all,

All broken up with things like Fitzgerald's wall,

Ridiculous jeans, Rage Against the Machine as stock listening.



Teenage landscapes make paragons

Of animal behaviours and these

Teenage landscapes make heroines

With the salt of foolishness;

The foolishness of shedding salt;



Teenage landscapes make paragons

Of animal behaviours and these

Teenage landscapes make heroines

With the salt of foolishness;

The foolishness of shedding salt;



So I put my heart into my mouth and I - I bit down on it

This is not one of those - of those sad songs no,

It's a wonderful thing, I have no regrets,

This is not one of those - of those sad songs no!

It's so wonderful, it's so wonderful,

It's so wonderful, it's so wonderful.



And though Yankee still lingers in the Bikini Atoll

It's becoming ever clearer that it's not the end of the world.
