Jonquil's got that look on her face
She's gonna try to make this world into a better place
Jonquil smiles in a crowded space
In a picture taken from another time and place
Where it's harder to admit the past with lies and laughs
Seeing friends before I knew them in old photographs
Back then she didn't need the friends that she knows now
So I'm wondering how she got her point to people she didn't need
I got up close to see if her teeth were stained with nicotine
And I wonder if you'd see the difference on TV screens and magazines
Cos when those ads start rolling,
heads are gonna turn and hearts are gonna burn
And though I've lost my cool and it's a little harder to explain
But could I look inside that photo album once again
There's something I want to see before I close this book eternally
Jonquil's a girl with a valid case
She's gonna try and make this world into a better place
A place where your ice cream don't fall off the cone
A place where people might leave her alone
And in this tribute to you, you only found out what I knew
And when my Jonquil sees it's true, she'll bring a wreck to everyone
She's making progress but she goes about it very wrong
But who listens to complaints in just another fleeting song
Nobody tells you, they just end up blaming everyone
And now the word is out on every shopstore window pane
Saturated, integrated, novel shots of novocaine
Rumors come easy when your world is telephones and trains
Jonquil's a girl with a tight embrace
She's trying to make impressions that you can't misplace, and it works
Take one look and you'll see
She deserves what she gets
What can I say? What can I say? What can I say?
Jonquil is a girl
