Emily lyrics

Emily's going out tonight
With a candle in her pocket and
a lighter in her right hand
Does anybody know
why she's gonna go
She's nearly out of sight
Emily's out tonight

So familiar
How ladylike the old girl comes along
She's ninety something,
dressed up and wide awake
A little slow but going strong
She's paid off the overdraft
for the TV she has bought in 84
She's been paying all her lifetime
But now she's gonna pay no more

Deep religious
She went to mass on every Sunday morning
She's believing
in God but she don't like
the priest he's new in town – and very boring
She's listened to his sermon well
though she's heard the same one hundred times before
She's heard them all her lifetime
But now she's gonna listen anymore

Emily's going out tonight
With a candle in her pocket and
a lighter in her right hand
Does anybody know
why she's gonna go away
She's gonna make it today

She's very friendly
and open minded always understanding
Bad behaviour
she doesn't like at all
She's very modest, she's never been demanding
She's always followed every rule
though she didn't even know what they've been for
She has followed all her lifetime
But now she's gonna follow anymore

Emily's going out tonight...
