Surly Girl - Aberfeldy

Surly girl, you got all the glamour in the world

But you make my toes and fingers curl

The way you smile, as though it’s going out of style

You’re a funny one, should be having lots of fun

But you’re dwelling on the things you’ve done

There in the past, believe me girl, it doesn’t last

Artists and philosophers tried to run away with her

For their love, she couldn’t care

She’s waiting for a millionaire

I watch you dear, count the Gypsies, spin the wheel

But tell me that you never feel a little sad

To think of what you could have had

Artists and philosophers tried to fire into her

This girl is tearing out her hair

Waiting for a millionaire

I understand, you’ve found yourself a wealthy man

He got you eating from his hand

And now you know exactly where the money goes

But they brought you in, made you tell a tale on him

There was no way that you could win

It’s just a question of when, gonna see your face in the papers again

Artists and philosophers tried to win the heart of her

They’re up here, but she’s down there

Waiting for a millionaire
