C
This story's a sad one, the sort that you hear all the time 
F
but this time i'll bore you with details and open your mind 
C
it's the tale of a young girl who once was the talk of the town 

C
The first time i saw her the skin was so thin on her bones 
F
her eyes they were lost on that street though she called it her home 
C
so i thought can i save her, can i get her out harms way 
F
and she looked at me with those eyes so what could i say 

C
so i said whats your name
                   F 
and she said your all the same 
               C                      F 
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
