Sad Mona Lisa

Sad Mona Lisa

The saddest girl I've ever known

Sad Mona Lisa

She lives in a world of her own

Sad Mona Lisa

No-one's gonna break your heart

Sad Mona Lisa

You were different from the start

She likes to go shopping on Saturdays

Especially to Kensington Market

For acid house records her mother hates

And posters of Morten Harket

And she walks around the shops alone

And spends her unemployment money

On lipstick and make-up she never wears

And magazines like Honey

Sad Mona Lisa

The saddest girl I've ever known

Sad Mona Lisa

She lives in a world of her own

Sad Mona Lisa

No-one's gonna break your heart

Sad Mona Lisa

You were different from the start

She dreams of her first boyfriend

Love letters he will send

Tender moments in his arms

Kisses that never end

Tina her sister laughs at her

Which is something of a contradiction

From an unmarried mum from the council slums

With a heroin addiction

Sad Mona Lisa

The saddest girl I've ever known

Sad Mona Lisa

She lives in a world of her own

Sad Mona Lisa

No-one's gonna break your heart

Sad Mona Lisa

You were different from the start

Well no-one's gonna break your heart
