What might we have if Gordon Lightfoot’s early song, “Go Go Round,” was brought forward from the Sixties into the distant future …? The NEO-Japan sale event has some great clothes to illustrate it.
Alone upon the sidewalks of despair
’twas there she wandered
With her suitcase in her hand
Her fate she pondered
Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn’t care
She met him on a night so rare
When her friends were there and the band was grooving
When he gave a glance that said
How much he would like to meet her
How was she to know at the time
He would mistreat her?
In her cage she danced for him
Although a hundred eyes were turned her way
And before the set was through he knew she would be his loved one
Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn’t care
Only twenty-one, she was
A young girl just in from somewhere
He’s playing up in Michigan
With a group they call The Intended
With a kiss and a promise he was gone
The song was ended
But as she walks she waits for him
The pavement is a shoulder for her tears
But in her heart she knows there is no way
She can hope to change him
Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn’t care
Only twenty-one, she was
A young girl just in from somewhere
Only a go-go girl in love
With someone who didn’t care
A go-go girl in love
“Go Go Round,” written and sung by Gordon Lightfoot; copyright 1967 by Warner/Chappell Music
