The Boo Radleys - Find The Way Out
 

Lyrics/Notes

     
 

 It's Lulu

Martin's notes: I wrote this while we were mixing ‘Giant Steps’. I was trying to write something that sounded like the Buzzcocks. I saw something on the television about a show that Lulu used to have called ‘It’s Lulu’ and I thought it was a good name for a song. It must have been a slow week.
Lyrics: Now she wants to grow up 'cos she can't get about. The words in her head can't seem to get out. She gets all her facts from the latest Smash Hits. She can't seem to buy any clothes that fit. The books that she reads aren't the ones from the school, she dreams of the day she can leave. Here she comes now, it's Lulu, she'd dancing close to the flame. It's Lulu, you better remember her name. It's Lulu, sing your song again. There's a tear on her cheek when she's talkin' on the phone, when she has to tell her friends that she's gotta stay home. Her parents both hate her, they don't want her to grow up. The pain in her head makes her want to throw up. The ones who understand are the posters on the wall. She finds her favourite tape and puts it on.
