Lyrics
Big World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is the story of a most unfortunate girl
Millicent, forever ill, at odds with this world
Big bad world
She has nametags on her clothing
So that she can be herself
When she goes out into it
She comes back as someone else
She lost herself
Millicent is doing it again
Millicent is losing everything
She can't go out dancing
Or go jogging in the park
Her idea of fun is a walkman and some dark
Big world
Millicent is running out of space
Gloria is blowing her away
Scratched her name upon the door
And locked herself away
Just ran out of space
But ain't it hard to be your self, these days
Millicent is losing everything
Millicent is under polythene
