Elsie — текст песни (Divinyls)

She never had an education

She uses life as her vocation

Standing on ledges clinging to the edges

The worlds a hard place to land on



She has this one way conversation

Trying to avoid a confrontation

Memories of the kind shes rather leave behind

The worlds a hard place to land on



Life can be lonely can be very sad

Can be something you wish you never had



She never had any affection

So she relates well to rejection

No stories wait discovery

Dreams have passed recovery

The worlds a hard place to land on



She just sleeps all day

In her squalid little slum

And takes little white pills

To make her body feel numb

And its dark and dirty

And theres nothing left to eat

And in her heart theres a feeling of defeat

Smells of bus and fornication

And a bottle of cheat scent

Should she stick around

If this is all that life meant



Life can be lonely can be very sad

Can be something you wish you never had



Open the door wally, open the door
