Georgie grew to hate her name
Georgie grew to hate her name
It sounded like a tiny man
It sounded like a tiny man
-
And the one she had said "I can't see you, but I'll call you whenever I can"
+
And the one she had said "I can't see you
 +
But I'll call you whenever I can"

Sometimes the phone would ring, when she was half-asleep
Sometimes the phone would ring, when she was half-asleep
A voice would drag her down with its suggestions
A voice would drag her down with its suggestions
Though she often felt cheated, she never felt cheap
Though she often felt cheated, she never felt cheap
-
CHORUS
+
Well heaven knows what fills the heart
-
Well heaven knows what fills the heart and makes you feel so alive
+
And makes you feel so alive
It's impossible to tear apart
It's impossible to tear apart
Georgie and her rival
Georgie and her rival
Line 16: Line 18:
It was half-past February
It was half-past February
And he hadn't called since New Year's Day
And he hadn't called since New Year's Day
-
Maybe he'd found another woman to say those words no chapel girl should say
+
Maybe he'd found another woman
 +
To say those words no chapel girl should say

Her mother would phone and always keep talking
Her mother would phone and always keep talking
She'd try to be polite, making faces
She'd try to be polite, making faces
But somewhere in the back of her mind, her rival was stalking
But somewhere in the back of her mind, her rival was stalking
-
CHORUS
+
Well heaven knows what fills the heart
 +
And makes you feel so alive
 +
It's impossible to tear apart
 +
Georgie and her rival
-
Her rival would always wait 'til the eighth or ninth bell
+
Her rival would always wait
-
He'd be desperate anyway and drunk as well
+
Till the eighth or ninth bell
-
She always liked to hurt him to prove he was prepared
+
He'd be desperate anyway
 +
And drunk as well
 +
 
 +
She always liked to hurt him
 +
To prove he was prepared
To love her anyway that she wanted
To love her anyway that she wanted
So she could tell which she preferred
So she could tell which she preferred
-
He sat up with his address book trying to think what mood he's in
+
He sat up with his address book
-
His finger traced past Georgie's name to someone who needed less persuading
+
Trying to think what mood he's in
-
He didn't hear through her disguise he didn't leave her in a rush
+
His finger traced past Georgie's name
 +
To someone who needed less persuading
 +
 
 +
He didn't hear through her disguise
 +
He didn't leave her in a rush
Just like the promise that he left on her machine
Just like the promise that he left on her machine
That almost made her blush
That almost made her blush
 +
The radio plays a lover's symphony
The radio plays a lover's symphony
-
"The number you have dialed has been re-directed"
+
''"The number you have dialed has been re-directed"''
Now she puts him on the speaker-phone
Now she puts him on the speaker-phone
Whenever she has company
Whenever she has company
-
CHORUS

Well heaven knows what fills the heart
 +
And makes you feel so alive
 +
It's impossible to tear apart

Georgie and her rival

Georgie and her rival
