Lyrics

"There's a light that shines on everything & everyone
And it shines so bright - brighter even than the sun"
That's what minnie thinks as she walks to meet her brother
Who is nearly two years older, on a saturday night
He's dj-ing at some do on the edge of town on the night
That minnie timperley died
It's such a beautiful world, you're such a beautiful girl
So much that you want to try, the world wants to sleep with you tonight
But minnie, minnie if I could I would give you the rest of my life
How can a girl have sex with these pathetic teenage wrecks?
Football scarves, the girls drink halves & her brother's crying 'cos he has lost his decks
Outside the air was cool, an older guy sitting in his car asked if minnie needed a ride
He thought he was still dangerous - paunchy, but dangerous -
On the night that minnie timperley died
It's such a beautiful world, you're such a beautiful girl
And he only did what he did 'cos you looked like one of his kids
But minnie, minnie if I could I would give you the rest of my life
Minnie. oh, minnie I can feel the pain. oh yeah
