(Mark Hollis Tim Friese-Greene)

Dum the dum dum girl

The dum dum girl the dum dum girl

Another sigh with no regret

More coins inside her hands

One time to own respect

Now mercenary she stands

I'm no boy

Stealing pennies from the poor

Break it down

Can't you see she's

Dum the dum dum girl

The dum dum girl the dum dum girl

Another hand upon her hair

Time probably erased distaste

And so she's left

Where guilt is out of place

I'm no boy

Stealing pennies from the poor

Break it down

Can't you se

e she's

Dum the dum dum girl

The dum dum girl the dum dum girl
