Lloyd Cole - Big World lyrics

This is the story of a most unfortunate girl Millicent, forever ill, at odds with this world Big bad world She has nametags on her clothing So that she can be herself When she goes out into it She comes back as someone else She lost herself Millicent is doing it again Millicent is losing everything She can't go out dancing Or go jogging in the park Her idea of fun is a Walkman and some dark Big world Millicent is running out of space Gloria is blowing her away Scratched her name upon the door And locked herself away Just ran out of space But ain't it hard to be yourself, these days Millicent is losing everything Millicent is under polythene
