Platform Girl
'The train now standing at Platform 12 is the 16:04 Southern service to Crystal Palace via Gipsy Hill. All stations via Crystal Palace'There's a girl that's on my platform every dayWe smile but that's all cause there's nothing to sayAnd I've seen her through all the changing seasonsAnd I call her Platform Girl for obvious reasonsAnd there's an etiquette about a girl like herA code of conduct, a rulebook if you preferYou see, in my mind she's just a romantic idealSomeone who conjures great stories, never someone to feelI'm just happy to see her smile, she makes it a better worldPlatform, Platform Girl.Even to talk to her would surely ruin the gameI don't even wanna find out her nameCause to me she's someone without any flawsAnd there's something about the way she opens up train doorsI'm just happy to see her smile, she makes it a better worldPlatform, Platform Girl'Platform Girl listens to whimsical folky singer-songwriters from Bedford when she gets the chance. Which she heard once on a late night pirate radio station and took the trouble to track down and download. And Platform Girl's definately got a French mum and a Brazilian dad and she goes scuba diving and snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef when she gets the chance but she doesn't really like the people she goes there with. She's never really happier than when the fair comes to Crystal Palace park and she gets to go on the dodgems on her own. But she always seems to pick the one car that doesn't work and that man has to come round and drag her all the way round but really that's when she's most happy'. And I'm just happy to see her smile, she makes it a better worldPlatform, Platform Girl Aus Songtexte Mania
