Levellers - Julie Lyrics






Julie was a lonely girl
She said she was born that way
She always felt that way
She left home at age sixteen
Get a job what're you supposed to do
That's what you've got to do

She fell in love and settled down
In a council place there on the edge of town
She'd feel alone in a crowded room
Cry when she heard a happy tune

Well, it would be nice to holiday
Till they took her job away
They just took her life away
Doing nothing isn't fun
When you've nothing from which to run
Yeah, you've nowhere left to run

She'd visit the social everyday
Every time be turned away
Every time be turned away

She'd feel alone in a crowded room
Cry when she heard a happy tune

A hundred stairs to her new room
Of a gloss and blackened spoons
Children grow old so soon
Past the kids who gather there
Pain masked by narcotic stares
But no one really cares

Her dreams were cut up and bled dry
Many voices in her cry
Julie waits, her world is her window
And Julie hates just what she doesn't know
And Julie hates, she hates the world below
But Julie loves
She loves too much to know

    Met Mark in 1993 on the boat from Gothenburg to Harwich. Stayed at his house in London for ten days or so. Time of my life.

    M.... S....

    +Monty Smith whereabouts did he live in London back then? - as I'm pretty sure I saw him a few times in the early 1990's walking up the old Kent road.

    M.... S....

    @revol148 I think it was Clapham.

    M.... S....

    @Monty Smith life was better back then wasn't it? I was 18 when this song came out - I am worn out 44 year old now.Where did it all go so wrong Monty?

  15. F.... W....

    Went to see them live at Lowestoft a few years ago, they were absolute Shite and just 'phoning it in' to coin a phrase, total disappointment from my previous enjoyment of their music. Don't confuse the image with reality, folks! ;-j

    F.... W....

    Fen Wolf haters always gonna hate . You obviously are born into a studio produced music world n never imagined there could be a difference in live to studio or half the effects :) . Most band sound nothing like the album lol !!

  18. J.... t....

    What a tune, it nearly turned me from a full on raver in to a crusty new age traveller.
    I still wonder what might of been if I had took that path.

    J.... t....

    You would've got muddy

    J.... t....

    Probably the same but maybe with brain kicked with less LSD but more psilocybin.

    Levellers were very popular with alternative scene here in Belgium. They played many rock festivals here like Rock Werchter and Pukkelpop. It was always fun with them folk rock songs. This was their biggest hit here on Studio Brussels. Very beautiful song.

    t.... w....

    +tim waterschoot They're still big amongst a select group in UK, too... they still have a lot of dedicated fans. If you get the chance to see them live, do it! I saw them earlier this year and they're still as good as always!
