Youthmovies The Naughtiest Girl Is A Monitor  Lyrics

I tried to survive these garrisons 
Of sweethearts with cataplexies, 
These possum tricks, 
I'm dead not sick, 
I'm dead not sick. 

Teenage landscapes make paragons 
Of animal behaviours and these 
Teenage landscapes make heroines 
With the salt of... 

Teenage landscapes make paragons 
Of animal behaviours and these 
Teenage landscapes make heroines 
With the salt of foolishness; 
The foolishness of shedding salt. 

Oh, this is what Maddy said 
She said it was a case of not knowing too much at all, 
All broken up with things like Fitzgerald's wall, 
The kids drawings, the black pens, the skateboards, 

Feltro and the practice field, 
Her face behind school mapped up like a line-graph, the windscreen, 
The fact it was over when you pinned me, 
It was over when I pinned you. 

This is what Maddy said 
She said it was a case of not knowing too much at all, 
All broken up with things like Fitzgerald's wall, 
Ridiculous jeans, Rage Against the Machine as stock listening. 

Teenage landscapes make paragons 
Of animal behaviours and these 
Teenage landscapes make heroines 
With the salt of foolishness; 
The foolishness of shedding salt; 

Teenage landscapes make paragons 
Of animal behaviours and these 
Teenage landscapes make heroines 
With the salt of foolishness; 
The foolishness of shedding salt; 

So I put my heart into my mouth and I - I bit down on it 
This is not one of those - of those sad songs no, 
It's a wonderful thing, I have no regrets,
This is not one of those - of those sad songs no! 
It's so wonderful, it's so wonderful, 
It's so wonderful, it's so wonderful. 

And though Yankee still lingers in the Bikini Atoll 
It's becoming ever clearer that it's not the end of the world.
