Sleeping on sofas, sleeping on floors
Friends are her family
Her mother abroad
Little miss nobody, pin-ball girl
Says why are you being so nice to me
It's our job says the nurse
As she stitches her hand
Everyone is somebody
You folks are amazing
You really care
Best phone the hostel
Tonight I'll go there
So vulnerable
Naive, street-wise in equal measure
If you had a family
You would be their treasure
Friends are her family

Little miss nobody, pin-ball girl

So vulnerable
Naive, street-wise in equal measure
If you had a family
You would be their treasure
This is why my wife ( a nurse ) was late home from work a few nights ago. A lovely looking 16 year old girl, whose mother was living in Spain had cut her hand. She had nowhere to live, carried all her possessions in 3 plastic bags, and when she injured herself climbing over railings, her 'friends' left and a passer-by took her to the Accident and Emergency department.
