"...'This  Year's  Girl', if anything,
 
is like a female 'Miracle Man' in that

they both deal with inadequacy - with
 
humour, I believe. Like 'This Year's Girl'

is not one girl - it's a song for and 

about all the girls who desperately follow 

this year's trends; the Biba girls or Fiorucci 

or whatever. And I'm not castigating them  

personally for swallowing that myth. In fact

it's almost compassionate in a way. If it's an 

attack, it's an attack on the idea, 

or the notion."



  [NME, 1978]

This Year's Girl
See her picture in a thousand places 'cause she's this year's girl You think you all own little pieces of this year's girl Forget your fancy manners Forget your English grammar 'cause you don't really give a damn about this year's girl Still you're hoping that she's well spoken 'cause she's this year's girl You want her broken with her mouth wide open 'cause she's this year's girl Never knowing it's a real attraction All these promises of satisfaction While she's being bored to distraction being this year's girl Time's running out She's not happy with the cost There'd be no doubt only she's forgotten much more than she's lost A bright spark might corner the market in this year's girl You see yourself rolling on the carpet with this year's girl Those disco synthesizers Those daily tranquilizers Those body building prizes Those bedroom alibis All this, but no surprises for this year's girl
