Big Julie

She's by herself again

in the quiet secret night

Below the neighbour's window

Hands in pockets; head on one side

And the radio plays an unknown song

that has nothing at all to do with God

But it's miles away from this sad town

And the stupid kids who get her down

Just wait until Big Julie rules the world

Big Julie rules the world

Well, the radio still plays:

Floating beyond time

Like the greatest people in the world

All springing up and feeling fine

And it's far away from these sweaty lads

who say that boys cannot be slags

And if it's not them then it's their dads

Like the guy who felt her up in class

And Sunday school teacher who said she had beautiful breasts

And the local radio DJ who is so obviously obsessed

Yeah, form an orderly queue when Big Julie rules the world

Big Julie rules the world

Yeah, go and chase your dreams

But if your dreams are not your own

then wouldn't it be better

just to work things out at home?

And she knows sex is just for dummies anyway

Something you do when you've run out of things to say

But this song will play until the light

It's the sound of her trying to find something to like

The sound of her walking day and night

And this song may lead her far away

But tonight it seems to light the way

And she can almost see the future shine

And everything's in tune and everything's in time

It will play until the day Big Julie rules the world

Big Julie rules the world
