I have Sophie, The Girl with the Fragile Eyes and The Girl in the Window on they new-fangled long players.
If you're interested I'll drop them round to you at the weekend... Number 35 is it?

Hope this one helps....

GIRL IN THE WINDOW (Jake Thackray)

CHORUS: Poor frozen creature neverendingly posing in the window,
Speechless and featureless and every ready to fall,
Neverendingly beguiling, forever gesticulating
And waving and smiling to nobody at all.

Striking a pretty posture, and likely as not
She's hairless as a snooker ball and showing all she's got! CHO.

There's a cheeky bloke that comes to dust you.
I've seen his type before-- a fingertip today and a handful tomorrow! CHO.

Staring out from your window with your indestructible grin,
Staring out in surprise at us bloody dummies staring in. CHO.

David, can't help with any of the above titles, but maybe you can help us: In the DT there is a parody of 'The Boxer' called 'The Folkie' (I think), said to be by Rick Bowers. I think it's 'The Folker', copyrighted by Fred Wedlock. Do you have any reliable information? See this thread.

Greetings all,

I am part of a Jake Thackray E Group, and we have the lyrics to *most* of his songs, but we still have a few missing. I wonder if anyone has the words to any of the following please :

Nurse, Sophie, Remember Bethlehem, Romance, The Girl With the Fragile Eyes, The Girl in the Window, Country Boy, The Royal Engagement, North Country Song and North Riding, Miss World, Side by Side.

Many Thanks,

David Harris
