Girl VIILyricsTranscribed by Kevin Hong, Nicola and Jonno. Sorry about the question marks everywhere! I'll run to you now / from somewhere you won't find me. / A different place, / a different time. / Together that summer / we raised some hell, yeah / but I couldn't forget / you're a kiss and tell. / [repeated Sarah sample:] Carrie's got a boyfriend, Carrie's got a boyfriend...

ReferencesAt some point I will endeavour to provide details of some of the places mentioned during the song. For the moment, I will just note that the extremely unpleasant end to the Chinese student demonstration in Tiannemon Square(?), when government troops killed some of the demonstrators, occurred on June 4th, 1989. The spoken segment that alternates exotic places from around the world with not-so-exotic-but-magic-nonetheless bits of London is obviously based on Madonna's Vogue single, in which the mantra was of famous Hollywood stars.Versions and sources
