Classic Girl

By Jane's Addiction

From the album Ritual De Lo Habitual

There are only a few chords used in this song.  The rhythm is straightforward.
Listen to the record to get the timing, especially as the lyrics are so
staggered around the beat.  Lovely song.

[Lyrics]

4:05 in my neighborhood,
When shots go off, no one bothers.
A 'POP', and a reply 'POP', and no reply.
Dinosaurs on the quilt I wore with a girl.
Such a classic girl.
Such a classic girl.
Such a classic girl, gives her man great ideas.
Hears you tell your friends,
'Hey man, listen to my great idea!'
It's true I am a villain when you fall ill,
That's probably because men never can be.
Not like a girl.
A classic girl.
Such a classic girl.
They may say, 'Those were the days...',
But in a way, you know for us these are the days.
Yes, for us these are the days, and you know you're my girl!
Such a classic girl.
Such a classic girl.
Yeah for us these are the days.
