Lyrics to the chorus of Beck's new song "Girl" from Guero

The lyrics in the CD say

my..... girl
my..... girl


meaning, the word between "my" and "girl" is edited out of the lyric sheet. Does anyone know what he's singing?

i googled this:

I saw her, yea I saw her
With a black tongue tied around the roses
Fists pounding on a vending machine
Torrid diamond ring stuck on her finger
With a noose she could hang from the sun
Pointed out with the dark sunglasses
Walking quickly down the beach
She spits on the sand where the bums are beaching

And I know I'm gonna steal a life
She doesn't even know it's wrong
And you know I'm gonna make it right
Take her where her soul belongs
Know I'm gonna steal a life
Nothing that I wouldn't try
My summer girl
Hey my summer girl
My summer girl
Hey my summer girl

I saw her, yea I saw her
With her hands tied back, a black Suburban
Calling out from a landfilled life
Scrawling her name up on the ceiling
Throw a coin in the fountain of dust
White noise, her ears are ringing
Got a ticket for my midnight hanging
Throw a ?? from a freight train leaving

And I know I'm gonna steal a life
She doesn't even know it's wrong
And you know I'm gonna make it right
Take her where her soul belongs
Know I'm gonna steal a life
Nothing that I wouldn't try
My summer girl
Hey my summer girl
My summer girl
Hey my summer girl

Hey my summer girl
Hey my summer girl
My summer girl
Hey my summer girl
Hey my summer girl
Hey my summer girl
My summer girl
Hey my summer girl

Thanks. I'm not convinced it's summer, tho.

i'm not either. if i weren't at work i'd go check the liner notes of my copy of the cd...if you have the deluxe edition, the lyrics to all the songs are also in the credits, i think...

I swear "one-eyed girl" sounds right if you sing along. smile

I have a promo - the standard release with the "promotional use only" sticker and a punch hole in the UPC.

Since Beck is one of those old-fashioned artists who sings instead of looping his choruses, he slurs it differently every time. It could be "sunny," "sunner," "sun on" - I have no idea. And judging by his past lyrics, it really could be anything.

it DOES sound like "one-eyed". maybe he's saying "sun-eyed"? sounds beck-y to me. shrug
