This Year's Girl Lyrics - Rock & Roll Music - Elvis Costello

See her picture in a thousand places 

'Cause she's this year's girl 

You think, you all own little pieces 

Of this year's girl 

Forget your fancy manners 

Forget your English grammar 

'Cause you don't really give a damn 

About this year's girl 

Still you're hoping that she's well spoken 

'Cause she's this year's girl 

You want her broken with her mouth wide open 

'Cause she's this year's girl 

Never knowing, it's a real attraction 

All these promises of satisfaction 

While she's being bored to distraction 

Being this year's girl 

Time's runnin' out 

She's not happy with the cost 

There'd be no doubt 

Only she's forgotten much more than she's lost 

A bright spark might corner the market 

In this year's girl 

You see yourself rolling on the carpet 

With this year's girl 

Those disco synthesizers 

And those daily tranquilizers 

Those body building prizes 

Those bedroom alibis 

All this but no surprises for this year's girl 

All this but no surprises for this year's girl 

All this but no surprises for this year's girl, yeah
