 This (if you hadn't already guessed) is a song Richey wrote about anorexia. 
 It sound's really good on acoustic, but then again that's what it was 
 written for.
 
 Bye-bye!

 The riff below is repeated quite often throughout the song.
 Listen to the record to find the exact times when the chords
 start.

 Lyrics 
 ------
 verse
 =====
 Days since I last pissed
 cheeks sunkend and despaired
 so gorgeous sunk to six stone
 lose my only remaining home
 see my third rib appear
 a week later all my flesh disappear
 stretching taut, cling-film on bone
 I'm getting better
 Karen says I've reached my target weight
 Kate and Emma Kristin know it's fake
 problem is diet's not a big enough word
 
 Chorus
 ======
 I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view
 I want to walk in the snow
 and not leave a footprint
 I want to walk in the snow
 and not soil its purity
 
 Verse
 =====
 stomach collapsed at five
 lift up my skirt my sex is gone
 naked and lovely at 5st.2
 may I bud and never flower
 my vision's getting blurred
 but I can see my ribs and I feel fine
 my hands are trembling stalks
 and I can feel my breasts are sinking
 mother trys to choke me with roast beef
 and sits savouring her sole ryvitta
 that's the way you're built my father said
 but I can change, my cocoon shedding
 
 chorus
 ======
 I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view
 I want to walk in the snow
 and not leave a footprint
 I want to walk in the snow
 and not soil its purity
 
 Verse
 =====
 Kate and Kristin and Kit Kat
 all things I like looking at
 too weak to fuss, too weak to die
 choice is skeletal in everybody's life
 I choose my choice, I starve to frenzy
 hunger soon passes and sickness soon tires
 legs bend, stockinged I am Twiggy
 and I don't mind the horror that surrounds me
 self-worth scatters, self-esteem's a bore
 I long since moved to a higher plateau
 this discipline's so rare so please applaud
 just look at the fat scum who pamper me so
 yeh 4st.7, an epilogue of youth
 such beautiful dignity in self-abuse
 I've finally come to understand life
 through staring blankly at my navel.
