Graham Parker - Platinum Blonde Lyrics
Pre>intro - country picking oohs g em c dG em c am7 gStuff comes down from the golden triangle on ferries from denmark to helsingborgG em c am7 gThe band strikes up but theyre out of time on synthesiser and washboardEm d c dWooden tulips grow by the roadside made in a factory in jonjopingEm d c dFake glass baubles hang in the station just like the passengers imitationAm em c emThen it hits you she was just the dregs all you wanna do now is break her legsAm em dKick that brunette into a pond replace her with aChorusD c g c g c g cPlatinum blonde, platinum blonde, platinum blonde, platinum blondeTheres a secret world that you cannot enter its in the center of the darkest nightShes waiting there with a set of works a swedish passport and something whiteShe walks past but you cant form a whistle even her lips look artificialYou wanna follow her but you cant swallow her act it seems so superficialNow youve shed the old one like a worn out shoeIt was all your fault but you blame her tooYou know its phoney but at least its new and it comes from a bottle likeChorus repeat last part of intro repeat with soloAnd in your heart theres a new addiction another friction that you cant resolveShe seemed alive but she is just a cipher an imaginary postcard that just dissolvedEndless sunsets glow in the distance painted by picassos assistantsPerfect people travel in volvos into the sunsets into the distanceYoure just a passenger shes not a ticket a foreign stamp youve got to lick itPut it in the mail box put it in the failboxYou never seem to learn from the school of hard knocksThen she walks past and laughs at the pondYou cant break a heart that doesnt respond, likeChorus repeat intro picking /pre>
