Lyrics: The Night That Minnie Timperley Died
Album: Unknown
Artist: Pulp
 

"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
