  • See her picture in a thousand places 'cause she's this year's girl
    You think you all own little pieces of this year's girl
    Forget your fancy manners
    Forget your English grammar
    'Cause you don't really give a damn about this year's girl

    Still you're hoping that she's well-spoken 'cause she's this year's girl
    You want her broken with her mouth wide open 'cause she's this year's girl
    Never knowing it's a real attraction
    All these promises of satisfaction
    While she's being bored to distraction being this year's girl

    Time's running out, she's not happy with the cost
    There'd be no doubt, only she's forgotten much more than she's lost

    A bright spark might corner the market in this year's girl
    You see yourself rolling on the carpet with this year's girl
    Those disco synthesizers
    Those daily tranquilizers
    Those body-building prizes
    Those bedroom alibis
    All this, but no surprises for this year's girl
    All this, but no surprises for this year's girl
    All this, but no surprises for this year's girl Writer/s: ELVIS COSTELLO
