lyrics

Leaves the car door wide open as she guns it and drives away
Better to do tomorrow what you don’t have to do today
Went on a big vacation and blew all this month’s pay
Something is wrong inside her what it is she just won’t say

What’s up with Isobel? She used to be solid, she used to be swell
What’s up with Isobel? Some people think she’s gone to hell

Yesterday morning, Izzy was so in charge
Hollering orders like a fisherman on a barge
She had plans, and they were grand
But they melted away, like a snowflake in her hand

Now she’s just a shell of a woman, taking time to stand at the side
Slowing down to see where she’s going, rushing fools she cannot abide
Sold her car for a scooter, sold her house to live in a shed
Sold her jewels to live like a pauper, but she kept her soul alive instead

What’s up with Isobel? She used to be solid, she used to be swell
What’s up with Isobel? Some people think she’s gone to hell
