Prolagus commented on the word bowlie
I'll send a dress to you
Because it's needing badly taken in
But I was so embarrassed that I missed your party
It was me that paid for it eventually
Because you know how much I wanted
To meet your friend the star of stage and local press
The dream of all the bowlie kids that hang around here
And I'm no different from the rest
I'm not too proud to say that I'm OK
With the girl next door who's famous for showing her chest.
(The model, by Belle and Sebastian)
