Intro
She lay in bed all night watching the colors change
She lay in bed all night watching the morning change
She lay in bed all night watching the morning change into green and gold
The doctor told her years ago that she was ill
The doctor told her years ago to take a pill
The doctor told her years ago that she'd go blind if she wasn't careful
They let Lisa go blind
The world was at her feet and she was looking down
They let Lisa go blind
But everyone she knew thought she was beautiful
Only slightly mental
Beautiful
Only tempermental
Beautiful
She thought it would be fun to try photograghy
She thought it would be fun to try pornography
She thought it would be fun to try most anything
She was tired of sleeping
They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind
They let Lisa go blind
She's looking like a queen
But if you knew what's going on in her life
There'd be a thousand barren mothers there to talk to her
If you knew what's going on in her life
There'd be two hundred troubled teenagers to sit with her
And talk to her
If you knew what's going on in her life
What's going on in her life
There would be a documentary on Radio 4
(Trumpet solo spot...)
She made herself a pair of orthopaedic shoes
She thought is was the answer to the fashion blues
She made herself a pair of orthopaedic shoes
But she walked with a limp
They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind...
repeats to the end
(for the little tidbit at the very end, just repeat the 1st chorus)
