There, There Katie - Jack’s Mannequin (Written for Andrew’s Sister)
Katie you’re a brave girl, and I know its only just started.
I’m gonna be there at 6, with some flowers on sticks
That were clipped just to make the weak strong.
And Katie, its a strange world when girls can get so broken hearted
If it were me and the universe, I’d get the worst of this gone.
Katie, Katie I’m sorry that in your condition
The sunshine’s been missing but Katie,
Don’t believe that it isn’t there.
Oh and Katie, Katie be happy
This world can be ugly, but isn’t it beautiful?
We’re not really here, and we’re really not there
We’re really not there.
Katie you’re a brave girl and courage is something I’ll need now.
‘Cause its been a hell of a day I’ve spent fading away
We all fade sometimes, I believe
And Katie its a strange world as I watch our tables get turned around
And you’ve got the strength that I’ve lost
Who’d have thought you’d be carrying me?
And Katie, Katie I’m sorry that in your condition
The sunshine’s been missing but Katie,
Don’t believe that it isn’t there.
Oh and Katie, Katie be happy
This world can be ugly, but isn’t it beautiful?
We’re not really here, and i’m really not there
Whoa
Whoa
And it’s not the end of the world,
It’s not the end of the world,
It’s not the end of the world,
‘Cause the cops wouldn’t break up this party.
And Katie, Katie I’m sorry that in your condition
The sunshine’s been missing but Katie,
Don’t believe that it isn’t there.
Oh and Katie, Katie be happy
This world can be ugly, but isn’t it beautiful?
We’re not really here, and we’re really not there.
Oh Katie, Katie I’m sorry that in my condition
Your sunshine’s been missing but Katie,
Don’t believe that it isn’t there
Oh Katie, Katie be happy
This world can be ugly but isn’t it beautiful?
We’re not really here, and we’re really not there
We’re really not there,
We’re really not there.
Katie, you’re a brave girl,
And I know its only just started.
