Silver Girl Lyrics
She was a silver girl
Lost in a high tech world
She was a golden girl
Immersed in a hard core world
She would have preferred
The last generation
But that's all right
She's on her way
She had the Midas touch
She was Lady Luck
She's got a million bucks
And she looks like it
She's had a few hard times
Sometimes it blows her mind
Those papers she never signed
Sometimes she remembers...
Sometimes she was just an actress
But you'll never really know
A shadow moves across her face
You cannot see her soul
Unless she lets you...
See her soul
She was a girlie girl
Caught in a man's world
And as her world turns
She feels so alone
Still she's a danger girl
Insane far beyond her years
On some things she's very clear
She's a wild adventurer
Sometimes she was just an actress
But you'll never really know
A shadow moves across her face
You cannot see her soul
Sometimes she was just an actress
But you'll never really know
A shadow moves across her face
You cannot see her soul
You cannot see her soul
You cannot see her soul
You cannot see her soul unless she lets you
See her soul...
See her soul, if she lets you
See her soul
Sometimes... she's an actress
You'll never really know
Shadows move across her face
You cannot see her soul
You cannot see her soul
Lost in a high tech world
She was a golden girl
Immersed in a hard core world
She would have preferred
The last generation
But that's all right
She's on her way
She was Lady Luck
She's got a million bucks
And she looks like it
She's had a few hard times
Sometimes it blows her mind
Those papers she never signed
Sometimes she remembers...
But you'll never really know
A shadow moves across her face
You cannot see her soul
Unless she lets you...
See her soul
Caught in a man's world
And as her world turns
She feels so alone
Still she's a danger girl
Insane far beyond her years
On some things she's very clear
She's a wild adventurer
But you'll never really know
A shadow moves across her face
You cannot see her soul
But you'll never really know
A shadow moves across her face
You cannot see her soul
You cannot see her soul
You cannot see her soul unless she lets you
See her soul...
See her soul, if she lets you
See her soul
You'll never really know
Shadows move across her face
You cannot see her soul
You cannot see her soul

That's what Nicks said about this song:
“The first couple of lines are definitely about Sheryl. And when I thought about writing a whole song to this poem I had called "Silver Girl,” I thought, ‘Well, this whole song could be about Sheryl and also about all the rock and roll women, be they Norah Jones, Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch, Stevie Nicks, Gwen Stefani, whoever.”
“I wrote it about Sheryl Crow, someone who in many ways would have been much happier being part of that musical generation from 1965 to 1975. That song is sort of saying that it’s harder to hold onto your integrity today.”
"That’s written about Sheryl Crow. In the song where it says, "She would have preferred the last generation,” Sheryl absolutely would’ve preferred to be my age and to have been in our generation and to have been in her own Fleetwood Mac, more than to be in this generation. We all love her and try to take her along with us because we know that. It was very fun when she came to record with Fleetwood Mac. Lindsey likes her a lot and Mick loves her and John loves her, and she’s one of our little adoptees. So the song is like an ode to the girl rock star, and ode to the question, “Is it possible to find somebody to love?” When you’re rich and famous, it’s very hard to find somebody. That’s not taking away the hope, but it is stating that it’s difficult.
Well, another song that shows that Stevie can write about many different things, not only in one song, but in general. Great lyrics and great song.
