Song language: English
Veronica |
| Is it all in that pretty little head of yours? |
| What goes on in that place in the dark? |
| Well I used to know a girl and I would have |
| Sworn that her name was veronica |
| Well she used to have a carefree mind of her |
| Own and a delicate look in her eye |
| These days Im afraid she’s not even sure if her name is veronica |
| Chorus: |
| Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes, |
| Veronica has gone to hide? |
| And all the time she laughs at those who shout her name and steal her clothes |
| Veronica |
| Veronica |
| Did the days drag by? |
| did the favours wane? |
| Did he roam down the town all the time? |
| Will you wake from your dream, with a wolf at The door, reaching out for veronica |
| Well it was all of sixty-five years ago |
| When the world was the street where she lived |
| And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea |
| With a picture of veronica |
| On the empress of india |
| And as she closed her eyes upon the world and |
| Picked upon the bones of last weeks news |
| She spoke his name outloud again |
| Chorus |
| Veronica sits in her favourite chair and she sits |
| Very quiet and still |
| And they call her a name that they never get |
| Right and if they don’t then nobody else will |
| But she used to have a carefree mind of her |
| Own, with devilish look in her eye |
| Saying you can call me anything you like, but |
| My name is veronica |
| Chorus |
