Liza Radley (b-side to Start!) Lyrics
Liza Radley, see the girl with long hair
See her creeping across summer lawns at midnight
And all the people in the town where we live
Say she's not quite right, she don't fit in with a small town
They just can't understand why she doesn't say much
But in her darkened room it's for their lives only she cries
Liza Radley, see her jump through loneliness
Liza Radley, take me when you go
And as the people pass by, their heads in the air
Haunted with their noise, she recalls a lonely sigh
But no matter what they say in her mind
She knows their dream of life they won't ever find
Now the people in the town where we live
Say she's not quite right, she don't fit in with a small town
They just can't understand why she doesn't say much
But in her darkened room it's for their lives only she cries
Liza Radley, I pledge myself to you alone
She kissed my face and said love means nothing at all
She kissed my face and said life means nothing at all
See her creeping across summer lawns at midnight
And all the people in the town where we live
Say she's not quite right, she don't fit in with a small town
But in her darkened room it's for their lives only she cries
Liza Radley, take me when you go
Haunted with their noise, she recalls a lonely sigh
But no matter what they say in her mind
She knows their dream of life they won't ever find
Say she's not quite right, she don't fit in with a small town
They just can't understand why she doesn't say much
But in her darkened room it's for their lives only she cries
She kissed my face and said love means nothing at all
She kissed my face and said life means nothing at all

Once upon a time, back when I cared, this song was me. It also makes me think of an old Czech movie called "And Give My Love to the Swallows" that portrays a girl like this who was a Czech resistance fighter against Nazi occupation.
Except I still believe that there are no truer words than 'love means nothing at all' and 'life means nothing at all.' Especially now that I know what the world is really about.
