Eels - Manchester Girl Lyrics
She hides in the library reading
Henry miller books
'til they flash the lights it's time to go
When she was a little kid she said
"dad, i don't know why
She's on the promenade
She's looking for a dress
She's locked outside a world
Just a manchester girl
Oh i'll meet you there
By the old newsstand
Oh i'll meet you there tonight
She pulls the covers on her head
She's counting the shots as they go by
And pandora's litter box
Well it's gettin' mighty high
That cat's gonna keep her up at night
Another scary dream
Another cigarette
She's locked outside a world
Just a manchester girl
Oh i'll meet you there
By the old newsstand
Oh i'll meet you there tonight

Eels Manchester Girl Comments
I remember seeing Eels perform Not Ready Yet in an episode of 2 meter sessions back in the day. Is that recording available still? Would love to hear it again since it was what got me into Eels 22 years ago. Omg. So old...
We all are :)
An unspeakably beautiful song. I had this on the Susan's house single and had almost forgotten it.
How I love the horn in this wonderful peace... Just beautiful.

'til they flash the lights it's time to go
When she was a little kid she said
"dad, i don't know why
I feel so penniless inside"
She's on the promenade
She's looking for a dress
She's locked outside a world
Just a manchester girl
Oh I'll meet you there
By the old newsstand
Oh I'll meet you there tonight
Shoot-out at the neighbor's house
She pulls the covers on her head
She's counting the shots as they go by
And pandora's litter box
Well it's gettin' mighty high
That cat's gonna keep her up at night
Another scary dream
Another cigarette
She's locked outside a world
Just a manchester girl
Oh I'll meet you there
By the old newsstand
Oh I'll meet you there tonight
In a perfect world this song had 10 million clicks and just as many likes...
