Wide eyes and corkscrew hair
Tied with lace you found somewhere
Hard gloss on lipstick smile
Wound up tight to spin for a while
Black jeans with tortured seams
Don't mean that much to me
Cool shades and dayglo tears
All hide your sixteen years
But I don't like to say my thoughts out loud
But I'm liking too much what I see
You flirt with every little boy in town
In your spring collection
You dress to kill and now you're killing me
I could have been there and back
You're just another girl with stars in your eyes
But I don't want to go home with you
Don't like your plastic shoes
Don't like your hair dyed blue
Don't like your damned new rose
Don't like your casual pose
I don't wanna go out tonight
But I don't wanna sit here 'cos there's nothing on the radio
You're coming round tonight
In your parachute suit that you bought in Portobello
I often call your name out loud
And try to tell you what I'm going through
You'd sooner hang around with all your crowd
'Cos they all pose and think and dress like you
In your spring collection
You're just another girl with stars in your eyes
We could have been there and back
But I don't wanna go home with you
The Vapors are a British new wave and power pop band active from 1979 to 1982, with a brief revival starting in 2016. Originating from Leicester, England, the group is known for their energetic and melodic sound, influenced by artists like The Cars and Blondie. Their debut album, "Magnets", released in 1980, achieved moderate commercial success thanks to the single "Turning Japanese", which became a new wave classic. The band disbanded in 1982 due to internal conflicts and drug problems. In 2016, the original members reunited for a series of concerts and released a new album, "The Vapors", which was well-received by fans. Besides "Turning Japanese", other representative tracks by the group include "News at Ten" and "Prisoners of the Night".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
