Ten Girls Ago Lyrics - Graham Parker

Buster turned round to me And said hey kid you must be joking 

You got an attitude You think you're funny but you're choking hey hey 

Back every word that comes out of your mouth (Ten girls ago) 

You thought you had something to laugh about 

But it was just a crazy thing 

The wrong act in the wrong circus ring 

The sweet pain of a needle's sting 

Ten girls ago, ten girls ago 

Eddie and Burt sneaked out the back 

And threw up before every scene 

The camera rolled and my life 

Flashed before me just as if in a dream 

A dog was leading me round on a chain Ten girls ago 

I kicked it but I ended up in pain

But it was just a crazy thing 

Flying an airplane made of string 

Sweet pain of a needle's sting 

Ten girls ago 

Wrap it up in a paper cup 

Put it in a bag for me 

Get yourself another dog 

Ah you're barking up the wrong tree 

And now I stand a hope in hell 

Of not ending up in the bottom of a well 

A place where all lost souls must go 

When they don't know where their life is going 

And now life glows with a life of its own Ten girls ago 

I would have told you my chances were blown 

But it was just a crazy thing 

The wrong act in the wrong circus ring 

The sweet pain of a needle's sting 

Ten girls ago, ten girls ago

But it was just a crazy thing 

Flying an airplane made of string 

Sweet pain of a needle's sting
