This story's a sad one, the sort that you hear all the time

but this time i'll bore you with details and open your mind

it's the tale of a young girl who once was the talk of the town


The first time i saw her the skin was so thin on her bones

her eyes they were lost on that street though she called it her home

so i thought can i save her, can i get her out harms way

and she looked at me with those eyes so what could i say


so i said whats your name

and she said your all the same

so i said dont act so strange i only asked your name


The stars in the night sky she'd seen only once in her life

but stars over girls parts on coldcut she sees every night

she said somewhere in my tattooed jungle you will find my mum

but she will disown me should she ever learn what i've done


and she said what became 

of my promised fame

all i got was shame

and she said we're all to blame


and then her eyes said don't you leave me standing on my own

can't you see that the streetside is my home

i'm held by men at night but still i'm cold

i'm so lonely but you know i'm not alone

i'm not alone

i'm not alone


She had hair like a willow tree choked at the side of the road

cardboard boxes for pillows she weeps as she reaps what she sows

so i asked her if one day she mind joining me in my grave

you know like the big ones you see with the family name

but she said all she'd ever been was a hoar and a slave

and she didn't know if she had any soul left to save


and she said why'd you care

so i said because i did

ever since i saw you standing there

well i couldn't help but stare


and then her eyes said don't you leave me standing on my own

can't you see that the streetside is my home

i'm held by men at night but still i'm cold

i'm so lonely but you know i'm not alone

i'm not alone

i'm not alone


she must of had the most lonely face i've ever known,

yeah she must of had the most lonely face i've ever known

well i tried to hold on but my grip it just was not that strong

i can still see her eyes as she fell and she fell for so long


if ever see her i hope you suceed where i failed

i cried for the cutey of kings cross the day she derailed

oh somebody please can you save her and take her away

you know london will kill her you can't let the smoke have its way
