Peter Hammill - His Best Girl lyrics

to the villa in the South of France

for vacation;

keep your head down, baby,

keep your hair in golden curls

and you will alays be his,

and you will always be his best girl.

Fast forward on the handycam video;

top that tan up, glowing U/V on the sunbed...

at the health farm you'll be

guarding his investment well.

Keep your head down, baby,

keep your wits about you now

and you will always be his,

and you will always be his best girl.

Beads and bangles, it's too late

to claim your independence now:

your rings and baubles are

the marks of the possession.

Keep your head down, baby,

keep your counsel to yourself.

Keep your hair on, baby,

keep your wits about you now

and you will always be his...

but will you always be his best girl?

Foot down in the G Ti Cabriolet,

his new friend's young enough

to be your daughter....

Foot down in the G Ti Cabriolet.

And you will always be his,

but will you always be his best girl?
