Julie Lyrics - Levellers

Julie was a lonely girl 

She said she was born that way 

She always felt that way 

She left home at age sixteen 

Got a job what you're supposed to do 

That's what you've got to do 

She fell in love and settled down 

In a council place there on the edge of town 

She'd feel alone in a crowded room 

Cry when she heard a happy tune 

It would be nice to holiday 

Till they took her job away 

They just took her life away 

Doing nothing isn't fun 

When you've nothing from which to run 

You've nowhere left to run 

She'd visit the social every day 

Every time be turned away 

Every time be turned away 

She'd feel alone in a crowded room 

Cry when she heard a happy tune 

Julie waits, her world is her window 

And Julie hates, she hates the world below 

A hundred stairs to her new room 

Over glass and blackened spoons 

Children grow old so soon 

Past the kids who gather there 

Pain masked by narcotic stares 

But no one really cares 

Her dreams were cut up and bled dry 

A million voices in her cry 

Julie waits, her world is her window 

And Julie hates, she hates the world below 

And Julie hates, just what she doesn't know 

But Julie loves, 

She loves too much to know
