"Suicide Girl" lyrics - BELLE AND SEBASTIAN

My friend, she wants to be a suicide girl
I'll take her picture for the whole wide world
I've known her for a long time
You could say that I'm a fan
But I always thought that I would be her man

My friend, she wants to be the girl of suicide
She wants an outlet for her radical side
I know that she is special
I can see what she has got
But what I have loved and guarded close
She will take and to the world expose
She gives it all away

My friend, she sometimes gets anxiety and stress
She got a man from the NHS
She proclaims a week of sadness
Please abstain from telling jokes
The world will see her poor image
A butterfly to empathy

I know that I can do it
I'm into light, I'm into shade
But let's face the facts, we ain't going back
When she takes off her clothes we'll never be the same again
