lifeguard sleeping girl drowning

Morrissey

Always looking for attention
Always needs to be mentioned
Who does she
Think she should be?
The shrill cry through darkening air
Doesn't she know he's
had such a busy day?
Tell her... sshhh
Somebody tell her... sshhh

It was only a test
But she swam too far
Against the tide
She deserves all she gets
The sky became mad with stars
As an out-stretched arm slowly disappears
Hooray
Oh hooray

Please don't worry
There'll be no fuss
She was... nobody's nothing

When he awoke
The sea was calm
And another day passes like a dream
