Girls On Film - BBC Radio 1 Peter Powell Session (Recorded 19th June 1981, Transmitted 11th August 1981)
See them walking hand in hand
Across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights
Flashing out, it's so bright
Then walk right out to the fourline track
There's a camera rolling on her back, on her back
And I sense the rhythm humming
In a frenzy all the way down her spine
Girls on film, girls on film
Girls on film, girls on film
Lipstick cherry all over the lens
As she's falling
In miles of sharp blue water
Coming in where she lies
The diving man's coming up for air
'Cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, by the hair
And she wonders how she ever
Got here as she goes under again
Girls on film (two minutes later), girls on film
Girls on film (got your picture), girls on film
Wider baby smiling
You just made a million
Fuses pumping live heat
Twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night
I'm touching close I'm holding bright, holding tight
Give me shudders in a whisper
Take me up 'till I'm shooting a star
Girls on film (two minutes later), girls on film
Girls on film (got your picture), girls on film
Girls on film (she's more than a lady), girls on film
Girls on film (see you later), girls on film
Girls on film (what ya doing), girls on film.
