Julie

Levellers

Julie was a lonely girl


She said she was born that way


She always felt that way


She left home at age sixteen


Got a job what you're supposed to do


That's what you've got to do


She fell in love and settled down


In a council place there on the edge of town


She'd feel alone in a crowded room


Cry when she heard a happy tune


It would be nice to holiday


Till they took her job away


They just took her life away


And doing nothing isn't fun


When you've nothing from witch to run


Nowhere left to run


She'd visit the social every day


Every time be turned away


Every time be turned away


A hundred stairs to her new room


Over glass and blackened spoons


Children grow old so soon


Past the kids who gather there


Pain masked by narcotic stares


But no one really cares


Her dreams were cut up and bled dry


A million voices in her cry


Julie waits, her world is her windows


And Julie hates, just what she doesn't know


And Julie hates, she hates the world below


But Julie loves,


She loves too much to know
