Is it all in that pretty little head of yours?   What goes on in that place in the dark?   Well I used to know a girl   And I could have sworn that   Her name was Veronica   Well she used to have   A carefree mind of her own and   A delicate look in her eye   These days I'm afraid   She's not even sure   If her name is Veronica   CHORUS:   Do you suppose,   That waiting hands on eyes,   Veronica has gone to hide?   And all the time she laughs   At those who shout   Her name and steal her clothes   Veronica   Veronica      Did the days drag by?   Did the favours wane?   Did he roam down the town   All the while?   Will you wake from your dream,   With a wolf at the door,   Reaching out for Veronica   Well it was all of sixty-five years ago   When the world was the street   Where she lived   And a young man sailed on   A ship in the sea   With a picture of Veronica      On the "Empress of India"   And as she closed her eyes   Upon the world and   Picked upon the bones   Of last week's news   She spoke his name out loud again      Repeat chorus      Veronica sits in her favourite chair    She sits very quiet and still   And they call her a name   That they never get right and   If they don't then nobody else will   She used to have   A carefree mind of her own,   With a devilish look in her eye   Saying "You can call me   Anything you like,   But my name is Veronica"      Repeat chorus      Oh, Veronica.
