Vanishing Girl Lyrics - Chips From The Chocolate Fireball - Xtc

Someone's knocking in the distance 

But I'm deaf and blind 

She's not expected home this evening 

So I leave the world behind 

For the vanishing girl 

The vanishing girl 

Yes she'd give you a twirl 

But she vanishes from my world 

So burn my letters and you'd better leave 

Just one pint a day 

The whole street's talking about my 

White shirts looking so grey 

People gossip on the doorstep 

Think they know the score 

She's giving him the runaround 

The man from number four 

Has a vanishing girl 

A vanishing girl 

Yes she'd give you a twirl 

But she vanishes from my world 

Yes the paint is peeling and my 

Garden is overgrown 

I got no enthusiasm to even answer the phone 

When she's here it makes up for the time she's 

Not and it's all forgotten 

But when she goes I'm putting on the pose for 

The vanishing girl
