(Heaton/Rotheray)
|
One day I'm loaded, next day I'm broke
|
Spent all my money on whisky and coke
|
Riding high 'till the rock hit the spoke
|
It's like window shopping for blinds
|
|
Spent all my money on a sunbed tan
|
Spoke the best that a young girl can
|
Ended up with a blind drunk man
|
It's like window shopping for blinds
|
|
It's like the heartbreak hotel,
|
with the heartbreak but nowhere to stay
|
The doors are shut on us,
|
the neon light fading to grey
|
|
They say I drink too much, to me, well that's just profound
|
How do you know you can't swim, until you have drowned?
|
|
Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady
|
Always a sip of the wine
|
The glass doesn't seem quite so empty
|
When window shopping for blinds
|
|
It's like gatecrashing a field, that's not true,
|
they've a harvest they yield
|
Save your tears for your evening meal,
|
when you're window shopping for blinds
|
|
One day you're sober, next day you're not
|
One day remembered, the next day forgot
|
Spent all my money on cocaine and pot
|
It's like window shopping for blinds
|
|
Covered in bruises from head to toe
|
No-one to speak to, and nowhere to go
|
A map of nowhere, and nowhere I know
|
It's like window shopping for blinds
|
|
It's like the heartbreak hotel,
|
with the heartbreak but nowhere to stay
|
The doors are shut on us,
|
the neon light fading to grey
|
|
They say I drink too much, to me, well that's just profound
|
How do you know you can't swim, until you have drowned?
|
|
Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady
|
Always a sip of the wine
|
The glass doesn't seem quite so empty
|
When window shopping for blinds
|
|
But what if my husband should come?
|
Well tell me what have you done?
|
I've cherished my vodka, I've cherished my rum
|
Don't mind us, we're just licking our wounds in the sun
|
|
It's like writing 'I love you' in snow
|
You know when you write it the message will go
|
I want a message my lover will find
|
Don't mind us, we're just window shopping for blinds
