Polythene Girl Lyrics

I wish that I could touch the sky
Elevate me...
I hope that I don't burn my eyes
As I drift free...
Prechorus:
Don't think that I can help myself

Guess it's true

[Chorus:]
Polythene, polythene girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, polythene girl
I'm breaking the seal, never thought I would

I wish that I could heal myself
Addicted to you...
Wrap me up in cotton wool
Just to feel new...

[Prechorus]
But it's true

[Chorus]
Polythene...

[Bridge:]
Suffocate... elevate... (2x)
But it's true

[Chorus x2]

Polythene

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Polythene Girl" I believe is about a girl that sheids Grant from the pain that he might be feeling. Or at least keeps it at bay. When a person is in love, sometimes that feeling can override any other in a person. But although the girl may be helping Grant in that way, she is also becoming somewhat addictive as with this girl, Grant feels no pain. It's because of this reason he is feeling suffocated, and will probably never touch the sky. Great song definitely. Superb opener.
