The Miles Away Girl Lyrics - Wildhearts

she's always busy caring 'cos that's all she's ever done 

she's a thousand Florence Nightingales all rolled up into one 

and (well) people take advantage but she loves her fellow friend 

with a slow, slow count from ten... 

when strangers die around her she still cries herself to sleep 

and she seldom gets the chance to pick the company she keeps 

and the ring around her finger is a ring around her past 

and a youth that couldn't last 

when people ask if she's OK she doesn't even answer 

her mind is set on auto-think, for heaven knows how long 

with the body of an angel and the features of a child 

CHORUS: 

she's miles and miles and miles and miles away 

she's the miles away girl, 'cos she's the miles away girl 

and she slaps miles and miles of smiles on every face 

she's the miles away girl, she's the miles away girl 

she's the miles away girl, right next to (me) 

she send a men to slumber-land with just one little kiss 

her silence is refreshing and her honesty is bliss 

she's probably clairvoyant but she never had the call 

but that's not long at all... 

her head's up with the stars because she knows that's where she's heading 

the good guys think she's different the rest just think she's weird 

she doesn't eat, she doesn't sleep, she's thinking all the while 

CHORUS 

and maybe you're the angel I knew that you could be 

well that must be the reason you bring out the devil in me 

deep under the covers, an easy place to hide 

and imagine the world isn't really going on outside 

but you never seem to have any money 'cos the decent people never get paid 

but there's never really ever a problem' cos you can get miles away, miles away, miles away 

CHORUS
