   But they don’t know what is what,
   They just strut.
   
   What the fuck?
   
   They just know,
   What they know,
   What they don’t know,
   What is what,
   They just strut.
   
   What the fuck?

9. First Girl I Loved - The Incredible String Band
   
   First girl I loved,
   Time has come I will sing you
   This sad goodbye song,
   When I was seventeen,
   I used to know you.
   
   Well, I haven’t seen you, now,
   Since many is the short year,
   And the last time I seen you,
   You said you’d joined the Church of Jesus.
   But me, I remember your long red hair
   Falling in our faces as I kissed you.
   
   Well, I want you to know, we just had to grow;
   I want you to know, I just had to go.
   
   And you’re probably married now,
   House and car and all,
   And you turned into a grownup female stranger.
   And if I was lying near you now,
   I wouldn’t be here at all.
   
   Well, we parted so hard;
   Me rushing round Britain with a guitar,
   Making love to people
   That I didn’t even like to see.
   
   Well, I would think of you.
   Yes, I mean in the sick sad morning.
   And in the lonely midnight,
   Try to hold your face before me.
   
   Well, I want you to know, I just had to go;
   I want you to know, we just had to grow.
   
   And you’re probably married now, kids and all,
   And you turned into a grownup female stranger.
   And if I was lying near you now,
   I’d just have to fall.
   
   Well, I never slept with you
   Though we must have made love a thousand times.
   For we were just young, didn’t have no place to go,
   But in the wide hills and beside many a long water
   You have gathered flowers, and they do not smell for me.
   
   Well, I want you to know, I just had to go.
   I want you to know, we just had to grow.
   
   So it’s goodbye first love, and I hope you’re fine.
   Well, I have a sweet woman
   Maybe some day to have babies by me,
   She is pretty,
   Is a true friend of mine.
   
   
10. Suicidal Dream - Silverchair
