lyrics
He writes as he tilts his head
to catch the whispering, up with
the hiss of tape recorders
But there ain't nobody there
Oh no, there ain't nobody there
Then he goes out to the shops
that line up outside his house
He'll always pause at his reflection
but there ain't nobody there
Oh no, there ain't nobody there
But he's got friends behind the glass
"How much you want for the girl in the window
I'll give you twice whatever you think she's worth
I'll give you all that and more to see her cured"
He has and argument with his lover
She'd slipped poisonous snakes into his supper
every night since they'd first met
though she pretends that she forgets
Now he puts his collar up,
and goes back out to the shops
to settle a bet with his supplier
as his lover wakes up wet
well secured and coloured in
Now she's safely pressed underneath the glass
Oh yeah, she's safely pressed underneath the glass
"How much you want for the girl in the window?
I'll give you twice whatever you think she's worth
I'll give you all that and more to see her cured."

about
Mark Lenover
Through a distinctive fusion of folk, rock, theatre and electronica, Mark Lenover critically examines pop culture’s ubiquitous influence, its moral philosophy and the potentially devastating effects of drug abuse and mental illness. His recent work frequently challenges an increasingly pervasive culture of celebrity, self-indulgence, distraction and desire. ... more
