The Girls Of Roselle Park

from Wood Anniversary by Hello Whirled

/

lyrics

the girls of Roselle Park are shedding their roses today
they won't be at the Platform North, they've chosen a South to stay
they love to see, graffiti on the trains
it means the youth of the war aren't living in strain
but the words, are falling apart
and the meanings aren't so gray, anymore

you can promise to the world to all who already hold it in their arms
scold another for alluding it may not need have to be this way
you're tired, I'm tired, in a world like this we're fired
but someone has to project an imaginary present where we need not be inspired, anymore

so the girls of Roselle Park are wearing crowns today
poppies and thorns for the rosaried few
and the king who came to stay
and the world, as falling apart
paint a faster picture than the ink can dry
and they try, but nobody stares
you could promise demonstrations but see, nobody cares

and the war, stood as a rail
finds the youthful hammer and gives it a nail
