Mono ♪ Slimcea Girl

“When things were going her way”. When things are not going your way, things are not well. You want things to go your way, as opposed to away. You want to be noticed, and be of interest.

O, the ephemeralness.

Mono - Slimcea Girl
As she walked down the street
The rain began to fall
He called out
But she passed on by
Like she never noticed him at all

Then the words of the song
Remind her of those days
Sees herself in the face of a stranger
Sat in a station road cafe

She remembers the day
When things were going her way
Only memories remain of

The way she used to be
Way she used to be

She stays home every night
And exaggerates her past
Now he knows
That slimcea girl
And she lives alone in Prozac Park

All the old photographs
Were never thrown away
She looks through them
For what made her cry
And then she decides live for today

She remembers the day
When things were going her way
Only memories remain of

The way she used to be
Way she used to be

“Why don't you come to me ?”
“… I'll come with you”

The way she used to be
Way she used to be

She'll never go back again
The way she used to be
Way she used to be
She'll never go back again

Slimcea, of Slimcea Bread, is a dieting bread, i.e. advertised to women who wishes to stay slim.

Slimcea was a British brand selling reduced calorie foods between 1959 and the mid-1990s. The brand was launched in 1959 by Procea Products which became part of Cavenham Foods in 1965. It was sold to Spillers in 1975 which in turn was taken over by Dalgety plc in 1979.

The brand's flagship product was its reduced calorie bread, which was advertised with the tagline "Show them you're a Slimcea girl". The "Slimcea girls" featured in the advertisements were usually winners of national Slimmer Of The Year competitions. A reduced calorie sweetener was also produced under the brand, along with a number of less successful products such as UHT milk.
