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 a number
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 exposed
She gives it all away
My friend
She sometimes gets anxiety and stress
She got a manual
From the NHS
She proclaims a week of sadness!
Please abstain from telling jokes!
The world will see her poet emerge
A butterfly to empathy
I know that I can do it
I'm in to light, I'm in to 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!
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 a number
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 exposed
She gives it all away
My friend
She sometimes gets anxiety and stress
She got a manual
From the NHS
She proclaims a week of sadness!
Please abstain from telling jokes!
The world will see her poet emerge
A butterfly to empathy
I know that I can do it
I'm in to light, I'm in to 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!

the feeling i get is that this guy lost his virginity to this girl, always thinking it to be special, only to see that several years later she is considering pornography: "But what I have loved and guarded close/ She’ll take and to the world expose". he's hoping she won't follow through, and deep down, he wants to get back together. until the end of course, "But let’s face the facts/ We ain’t going back/ When she takes off her clothes/ We’ll never be the same again", he realizes they could never actually be what they were.
it's the story of being broken up and always thinking that perhaps the relationship could happen again. eventually there's a moment where you know it won't... and feels like you're broken up with all over again.
this sort of thing comes up a lot in B&S songs. reminds me of judy and the dream of horses: "judy, i don't know you/ if you're gonna show me everything".
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 a girl 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’ll take and to the world expose
She gives it all away
My friend
She’s sometimes gets anxiety’n’ stress
She got a manual
From the NHS
She proclaimed a week of sadness!
Please abstain from telling jokes!
The world would see a poet emerge
A butterfly to empathy
I know that I could 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
The world will see her poor image, (?)
A butterfly to empathy.
Like how a caterpillar emerges as a butterfly; don't know what he's saying before emerge though
