Jonquil's got that look on her face,
She s gonna try and make this world into a better place.
Jonquil smiles in crowded space
In a Picture taken from another time and place
Where it's harder to admit the past with lies and laughs,
Seeing friends before I knew them in old photographs.
Back then she didn't need the friends that she knows now,
So I'm wondering how she got her point to people she didn?t need.
I got up close to see if her teeth were stained with nicotine,
And I wonder if you'd see the difference on TV screens and magazines,
'Cos when-those ads start rolling,
Heads are gonna turn; Hearts are gonna burn.
And though I've lost my cool and it's a little harder to explain,
But could I look inside that photo album once again:
There's something I want to see before I close this book eternally.
Jonquil?s a girl with a valid case,
She s gonna try and make this world a better place.
A place where your ice cream won't fall off the cone,
A place where people might leave her alone.
And in this tribute to you, you only found out what I knew,
And when my Jonquil sees it's true, she'll bring a wreck to everyone.
She's making progress, but she goes about it very wrong,
But who listens to complaints in just another fleeting song?
No one tells you, they just ended up blaming everyone.
And now the word is out on every shopstore window pane,
Saturated, integrated, novel shots of novacaine,
Rumors come easy when your world is telephones and trains.
Jonquil's a girl with a tight embrace,
She's trying to make impressions that you can't misplace, and it works.
Take one look and you'll see,
She deserves what she gets.
What can I say? What can I say? What can I say:
Jonquil is a girl.
