She lay in bed all night watching the colours change   She lay in bed all night watching the morning change   She lay in bed all night watching the morning change into green and gold      The doctor told her years ago that she was ill   The doctor told her years ago to take a pill   The doctor told her years ago that she'd go blind if she wasn't careful      They let Lisa go blind   The world was at her feet and she was looking down   They let Lisa go blind   But everyone she knew thought she was beautiful   Only slightly mental   Beautiful, only temperamental   Beautiful, only slightly mental   Beautiful      She thought it would be fun to try photography   She thought it would be fun to try pornography   She thought it would be fun to try most anything   She was tired of sleeping      They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind   They let Lisa go blind   She's looking like a queen   But if you knew what's going on in her life   There'd be a thousand barren mothers there to talk to her   If you knew what's going on in her life   There'd be two hundred troubled teenagers to sit with her   And to talk to her   If you knew what's going on in her life   What's going on in her life   What's going on in her life   There would be a documentary on Radio 4      She made herself a pair of orthopaedic shoes   She thought it was the answer to the fashion blues   She thought it was an answer to the fashion blues   But she walked with a limp      They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind   They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind   They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind   They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind
