Stephen Duffy And The Lilac Time — Don't Feed the Rats lyrics

Lyrics

The world is full of missing girls
Geraldine, Janes and Ophelias
Who go for a walk and then don’t come back
Say I’ll be OK — just not today
Nothing is wrong
But now nothing is right
The funeral cortege pulls out of her street
There’s nobody home, we’re more alone
She wanted to see everything there is
I hope that she did — beautiful kid
Nothing is wrong
But now nothing is right
Nothing is wrong
But now nothing is right
Don’t feed the rats, don’t let them in
They’re never too rich, never too thin
She thought she could steal flowers from the Spring
For when she walked she used to sing
Nothing is wrong
But now nothing is right
(Nothing… nothing… nothing…)
