In this case I have put Arabella
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3Hr29TbtPM
Arabella's got some interstellar gatorskin boots
And a Helter Skelter 'round her little finger and I ride it endlessly
She's got a Barbarella silver swimsuit
And when she needs to shelter from reality
She takes a dip in my daydreams
My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
That little lady sitting on the passenger side
It's much less picturesque without her catching the light
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes
As Arabella, oh
As Arabella
Just might've tapped into your mind and soul
You can't be sure
Arabella's got a '70s head
But she's a modern lover
It's an exploration she's made of outer space
And her lips are like the galaxy's edge
And her kiss the color of a constellation falling into place
My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
That little lady sitting on the passenger side
It's much less picturesque without her catching the light
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes
As Arabella, oh
As Arabella
Just might've tapped into your mind and soul
You can't be sure
(That's magic) in a cheetah print coat
(Just a slip) underneath it I hope
(Asking if) I can have one of those
(Organic) cigarettes that she smokes
(Rubs her lips) 'round a Mexican Coke
(Makes you wish) that you were the bottle
(Takes a sip) of your soul, and it sounds like
Just might've tapped into your mind and soul
You can't be sure
(Should win?!)

So your grandmother stands to me,
A woman I would be proud to be,
And you say she reminds you of me,
Every little boy is so naive.
I will not be a victim of romance.
I will not be a victim of circumstance.
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man,
Who could get his dirty little hands on me.
No how no how....
So your grandfather sounds like me.
Head up shoulders back and proud to be.
Every little girl is so naive,
Falling in love with the first man that she sees.
I will not be a victim of romance
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man,
Who could get his dirty little hands on me.
No how no how
When we were in love,
We were,
When we were in love,
I was an eagle,
And you were a dove.
Today I will feel something other than regret.
Pass me a glass and half-smoked cigarette.
I've damn near got no dignity left,
I've damn near got no dignity left.
Ahhh, I will not be a victim of romance,
I will not be a victim of circumstance.
Chance or romance or circumstance, or any man,
Who could get his dirty little hands on me.
No how no how
When we were in love, if we were,
When we were in love,
I was an eagle,
And you were a dove.
When we were in love, if we were,
When we were in love,
You were a dove,
And I rose above you and preyed.
- then goes into "You Know" ... (Brilliant!)
