God Help the Girl
God Help the Girl Lyrics


There is no way I'm looking for a boyfriend
There is no way I'm looking for a scene
I need to save some dough
I'm a working girl, you know
I'll fend attention off I keep to myself

I love my room, I'm getting used to sleeping
Some nights I really like to lie awake
I hear the midnight birds
The message in their words
The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch
Their promise never meant so much to me

You have been warned, I'm warned to be contrary
Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
Teacher never cared for me
Preacher said a prayer for me
God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get

I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call
I'll leave the chocolate hidden in the fridge
I'll play his messages
Analyze his intonation
Please stop me there, I'm even boring myself

I think of him when I'm doing the dishes
I think of him while looking in the sink
This ain't no play on words
My love for him is absurd
If he gave me a sign I'd think about it for a week
I'd build it up and then I'd turn him down

You have been warned, I'm warned to be contrary
Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
Teacher never cared for me
Preacher said a prayer for me
God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get

Read Full BioGod Help the Girl is a musical project authored by Stuart Murdoch, the leader of the Scottish indie pop group Belle and Sebastian, featuring, besides Belle & Sebastian as the accompanying band, a group of female vocalists, including Catherine Ireton. The records released as part of the project include so far: the singles Come Monday Night, Funny Little Frog (2009) and Baby, You're Blind (2010), the main album of the project, also entitled God Help the Girl, and the EP Stills (both published in 2009). In 2011, Stuart Murdoch plans to start shooting a musical film, which will feature the songs published in the singles and albums.

The songs of the project God Help the Girl belong to the genre of indie pop and resemble the other output of Belle & Sebastian in tone – two songs (Funny Little Frog and Act of the Apostle) were taken directly from the earlier repertory of this group. However, contrary to the earlier work of Belle & Sebastian – a group dominated by male performers, female vocalists (who are not members of the group) play the main role in the project. The songs themselves also tell about the problems of young girls entering adult life.

Không có cách nào tôi tìm bạn trai
Không có cách nào tôi đang tìm kiếm một cảnh
Tôi cần tiết kiệm một ít bột
Tôi là một cô gái làm việc, bạn biết đấy
Tôi sẽ bảo vệ sự chú ý của tôi
Tôi yêu phòng của tôi, tôi đã quen với việc ngủ
Có những đêm tôi thực sự thích nằm thao thức.
Tôi nghe thấy tiếng chim nửa đêm
Thông điệp trong lời nói của họ
Bình minh sẽ chạm vào tôi theo cách mà một cậu bé không bao giờ có thể chạm vào
Lời hứa của họ không bao giờ có ý nghĩa nhiều với tôi
Bạn đã được cảnh báo, tôi được cảnh báo là trái ngược
Lạc hậu ở trường, tôi viết từ phải sang trái
Sư phụ không bao giờ quan tâm đến tôi
Thầy giảng đã cầu nguyện cho tôi
Chúa giúp cô gái, cô ấy cần tất cả sự giúp đỡ.
Tôi ngồi hàng giờ chỉ chờ cuộc gọi của anh.
Tôi sẽ để sô cô la giấu trong tủ lạnh
Tôi sẽ chơi tin nhắn của anh ấy
Phân tích ngữ điệu của anh ấy
Hãy dừng tôi ở đó, tôi thậm chí nhàm chán
Tôi nghĩ về anh ấy khi tôi đang làm các món ăn
Tôi nghĩ về anh ấy khi nhìn vào bồn rửa
Đây không phải là chơi chữ
Tình yêu của tôi dành cho anh ấy thật vô lý
Nếu anh ấy cho tôi một dấu hiệu tôi sẽ nghĩ về nó trong một tuần
Tôi sẽ dựng nó lên và sau đó tôi sẽ từ chối anh ta
Bạn đã được cảnh báo, tôi được cảnh báo là trái ngược
Lạc hậu ở trường, tôi viết từ phải sang trái
Sư phụ không bao giờ quan tâm đến tôi
Thầy giảng đã cầu nguyện cho tôi
Chúa giúp cô gái, cô ấy cần tất cả sự giúp đỡ.

Almost 2 years later, this is still totally Jemma Simmons' theme song in my mind. It just fits her so well.

S.h.i.e.l.d. is the reason we are here.

i thought this was a band from the 60's based on how this sounds, but I'm so glad the people who made this are current so they can produce more gold!

No One Of Consequence

This song suddenly popped into my head, and I just had to give it a listen.



And yes, I heard it in Agents of SHIELD, season 2: episode 3.

Was

Same, on both things you said.
