Miss September 1983

I remember when I found a playboy magazine
I fell in love with Miss September 1983
I lost a little innocence to her that day
She looked at me with tenderness I looked at her in the same way

What happened to that girl?



She woke up my anticipation and revere
Intoxicated by her glamorous veneer
No other girl has ever measured up to her
I still remember every picture every pose and every curve

What happened to that girl?
She flowered like a rose
Even former centrefolds must grow old I suppose

What happened to that girl?
And what did she become?
She was somebody’s daughter now she could be someone’s mum

As I grew older I could not resolve my dreams
So I collected vintage adult magazines
I never found the girl who liberated me
Was Miss September just an adolescent fantasy?

What happened to that girl?
I love her to this day
Even though her photographs have faded all away

What happened to that girl?
She flowered like a rose
Even former centrefolds must grow old I suppose

"You never can be sure what kind of project Jim will come up with next, but you can always be sure it's gonna be pretty darn good." Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music.

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
