Something For The Girl With Everything Lyrics
Something for the girl with everything
See, the writings on the wall
You bought the girl a wall
Complete with matching ball-point pen
You can breathe another day
Secure in knowing she wont break you (yet)
Something for the girl with everything
Have another sweet my dear
Dont try to talk my dear
Your tiny little mouth is full
Heres a flavour you aint tried
You shouldnt try to talk, your mouth is full
Something for the girl with everything
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Bearing gifts to aid amnesia
She knows everything
yes yes everyting
She knew way back when you weren't yourself
Something for the girl with everything
Heres a really preatty car
I hope it takes you far
I hope it takes you fast and far
Wow, the engines really loud
Nobodys gonna hear a thing you say
Something for the girl with everything
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Where should they leave these imported gimmicks
Leave them anywhere
An-an-anywhere
Make sure that theres a clear path to the door
Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Heres a patridge in a tree,
A gardener for the tree
Complete with ornithologist
Careful, careful with that crate
You wouldn't want to dent Sinatra, no
Something for the girl who has got everything,
Yes, yes, everything
Hey, come out and say hello
Before you friends all go
But say no more than just hello
Ah, the little girl is shy
You see of late shes been quite speechless,
very speechless
She's got everything
See, the writings on the wall
You bought the girl a wall
Complete with matching ball-point pen
You can breathe another day
Secure in knowing she wont break you (yet)
Have another sweet my dear
Dont try to talk my dear
Your tiny little mouth is full
Heres a flavour you aint tried
You shouldnt try to talk, your mouth is full
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Bearing gifts to aid amnesia
She knows everything
yes yes everyting
She knew way back when you weren't yourself
Heres a really preatty car
I hope it takes you far
I hope it takes you fast and far
Wow, the engines really loud
Nobodys gonna hear a thing you say
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Where should they leave these imported gimmicks
Leave them anywhere
An-an-anywhere
Make sure that theres a clear path to the door
Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
A gardener for the tree
Complete with ornithologist
Careful, careful with that crate
You wouldn't want to dent Sinatra, no
Yes, yes, everything
Hey, come out and say hello
Before you friends all go
But say no more than just hello
Ah, the little girl is shy
You see of late shes been quite speechless,
very speechless
She's got everything

I always thought this was about a guy being blackmailed by a girl.
"She knew you way back when you weren't yourself."
The guy had some kind of past life (perhaps something to do with how he got all this money to spend on her). The girl found out about this past life, and she's going to tell people about it unless he buys her nice things.
"You can breathe another day Secure in knowing she won't break you yet"
Like a mortal appeasing an angry goddess, the guy makes offerings to the girl so that she may stay her hand.
"Here's a really pretty car I hope it takes you far I hope it takes you fast and far"
The thing that caps his suffering is that he has come to despise his girl, but he must continue to buy her gifts for fear of her telling his secret. "Three wise men" and "partridge in a tree" symbolize how every day is like Christmas for her now.
"Hey, come out and say hello Before our friends all go But say no more than just hello Ah, the little girl is shy You see of late she's been quite speechless, very speechless She's got everything"
The only enjoyment he can ever have these days is the satisfaction that his money can keep the girl quiet for another day.
Spoilt girl
Buying silence. Domestic violence maybe?
Revisiting this track I can see why on first glance and with no consideration of all facts one might feel albeit superficially that the song is about a spoilt girl. The song more than hints that there is a secret reason why she is being showered with all these indulgences and seems to be centered around buying the girl's silence.

This hints at possible child abuse (unlikely), domestic abuse or another patriarchal oppression of the "girl". What is absolutely certain is that her Patriarch is suppressing her outward expression via various methods with various methods designed to stop her either speaking or being heard. The song is sung from the part of the Patriarch and his words show obvious signs of fear and nervousness should she speak.
This is a song for the girl to go away. Plain and simple. Unfriend
This is the song Terry Hall messaged me on Instagram. The comment from Lelalue above is mine. It's the day I unfriended him. Then HE blocked me, and unblocked me like a CHILD. R.I.P. Also!! I never told anyone. A great word to describe him was "INSUFFERABLE ", I wasn't surprised of the news, thought it be sooner tbh. One last thing "brief illness" translation pills? Is my guess. Will see the news- he would take alot of them- and leave slurred messages. Is this a nice thing to say about someone that just passed? NO. But check out this song...I've never said a word to anyone, I was very nice to him. I've never in my life blackmailed him, he was just paranoid- and made me feel BAD. For no reason! The cats out of the bag now. He's dead , so I can FINALLY let it out. Yah see Terry. Never said anything. R.I.P buddy. And I'm glad I never met up with you to "that hotel" you wanted me to visit. May god have mercy on your soul.
