Annie Lyrics

All aboard the skylark once again
Oh Annie, you could have been my only friend
We shared a job, but we could've shared more, whoa

Skin pale and hair of deepest black
Forever present the smell of tobacco
Smoke can stay or lose
Oh Annie, your _____

You were in the band while I was at school
I danced around the playground to you
With my headphones on
Oh Annie, what was that song you sang?

In a world that's headed for wreck and for ruin
___ to see you standing in the post office, is it you?
Oh Annie, what will I do when you're gone?

I tried to be a punk when I was young
On the off chance that I'd bump into you
And you'd fancy me too
Oh Annie, what was I to do?

And sometimes when I was backstage after the show
Back to your days at the top all those many years ago
Oh Annie, did you use those dressing rooms too?

You were in the band while I was at school
I danced around the playground to you
With my headphones on
Oh Annie, what was that song you sang?

In a world that's headed for wreck and for ruin
___ to see you standing in the post office, is it you?
Oh Annie, what will I do when you're gone?
