Pin Up Songtext
von The Stranglers

She′s a centrespread, special size of the month
She's the one on the wall
Watched by him, she′s scared to move
She's very well known only in the one stance
She's the girl that survived, over a hundred million glances

She′s the pin up

She′s always on his mind, a technicolour dream
The secret weapon
She lives on his locker door
She's the girl he dreams of when he′s at sea
Though she's in 2-D, he′d like her at home waiting

She's the pin up
She′s the pin up

All over submarines
They think she's so serene
As a mermaid she don't look much
But such a sin could be this year′s last year′s thing


She's a charity gives something for nothing
A wallchart for his heart a victim of all his desires
Sometimes he dreams of a scratch me, scratch me section
A rope ladder of hair, a Babylon for him to climb

She′s the pin up
She's the pin up

All over submarines
They find her so serene
As a mermaid she don′t look much
But such a sin could be this year's last year′s thing

She's a centrespread special size of the month
She's the one on his wall
Watched by him, she′s scared to move
She′s very well known only in the one stance
She's the girl who′ll survive, over a hundred million glances


Sh-she's the pin up
Sh-she′s the pin up
Sh-she's the pin up
Sh-sha, sh-she′s the pin up
Sh-she's the pin up
Sh-sha, sh-she's the pin up
Sh-sha, sh-she′s the pin up
Sh-sha, sh-she′s the pin up
Sh-sha, sh-she's the pin up
Sha-sha, sh-she′s the pin up
Sh-sha, sh-she's the pin up
