Текст песни Pulp — The Night That Minnie Timperley Died
"There's a light that shines on everything and everyone
And it shines so bright
brighter even than the sun"
That's what Minnie thinks
as she walks to meet her brother
who is nearly two years older
on a Saturday night
He's DJing at some do
on the edge of town
on the night that Minnie Timperley died
It's such a beautiful world
You're such a beautiful girl
So much that you want to try
The world wants to sleep with you tonight
But Minnie
Minnie if I could I would give you the rest of my life
How can a girl have sex
with these pathetic teenage wrecks?
Oh, football scarves
the girls drink halves
and her brother's crying
'cos he has lost his decks
Outside the air was cool
An older guy sitting in his car
asked if Minnie needed a ride
He thought he was still dangerous:
paunchy, but dangerous
On the night that Minnie Timperley died
It's such a beautiful world
You're such a beautiful girl
And he only did what he did
'cos you looked like one of his kids
But Minnie
Minnie if I could I would give you the rest of my life
Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain
Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain
Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain
the pain, the pain, the pain pain pain, yeah
Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain
Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain
Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain
the pain, the pain, the pain pain pain, yeah
Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain
Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain
Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain
the pain, the pain, the pain pain pain, yeah
Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain
Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain
Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain
the pain, the pain, the pain pain pain
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And it shines so bright
brighter even than the sun"
That's what Minnie thinks
