The Distractions Girl of the Year lyrics

Her endless summer came and went and now it's cold
She feels like jumping off the pier
She spent it looking for the place no-one grows old
She clearly didn't find it here
And though she's smiling her eyes are filled with tears
She's the girl of the year
She tried to pay a man to take her out of town
He took her money and he left
He never told her that his car had broken down
She's trying not to look bereft
She's tried closing her eyes but she can't disappear
She's the girl of the year

The boys are running round this way and that
She'd like to join them but she's scared of looking fat
The shops are boarded up the fairground has closed down
She never felt she fitted in
The beach was not the perfect place to hang around
When you're lonely and can't swim
She'd like to go home but it's even worse than here
She's the girl of the year
