Seventeen - Stephen Duffy

[04:33.0]I was born in Birmingham
[04:33.0]But soon I would escape
[04:33.0]With education incomplete
[04:33.0]And two songs on a tape
[04:33.0]When my girlfriend was expelled
[04:33.0]We took the London coach
[04:33.0]Her sister gave her daffodils
[04:33.0]Her mother an old brooch
[04:33.0]And she smiled and she smiled
[04:33.0]And she smiled
[04:33.0]She was so beautiful - 17
[04:33.0]She was so beautiful - 17
[04:33.0]We didn't have much money then
[04:33.0]No hi-fi or TV
[04:33.0]So we made love I'd sing her songs
[04:33.0]And she would read to me
[04:33.0]But we were young
[04:33.0]I didn't know what love was all about
[04:33.0]When I slept with her best friend
[04:33.0]Of course she threw me out
[04:33.0]And we cried and we cried
[04:33.0]And we cried
[04:33.0]I was looking for a deal
[04:33.0]Looking for a hit
[04:33.0]The affectations of success
[04:33.0]The airs that go with it
[04:33.0]While she was looking for a man
[04:33.0]Who didn't need a maid
[04:33.0]She modelled for an agency
[04:33.0]Who made sure she got paid
[04:33.0]When she smiled when she smiled
[04:33.0]When she smiled
[04:33.0]I was an empty head libertine
