Window Shopping For Blinds
Lyricist:Paul Heaton, Dave Rotheray
One day I'm loaded, next day I'm broke Spent all my money on whiskey an' coke Ridin' high 'till the rock hit the spoke It's like window shoppin' 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 a window shoppin' for blinds
It's like the heartbreak hotel With the heartbreak but nowhere to stay Doors are shut on us The neon lights faded to gray
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 shoppin' for blinds
It's like gatecrashing a field, that's not true They've a harvest they yield Save your tears for your evenin' meal When window shoppin' for blinds
One day you're sober, next day you're not One day you remember, next day forgot Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Spent all my money on cocaine and pot It's like a window shoppin' for blinds
Covered in bruises from head to toe No-one to speak to, an' nowhere to go Map of nowhere, and nowhere I know It's like window shoppin' for blinds
It's like the heartbreak hotel With the heartbreak but nowhere to stay Doors are shut on us The neon lights faded to gray
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 shoppin' for blinds
But what if my husband should come? Well tell me what have you done? I've cherished your vodka, I've cherished your rum Don't mind us, we're just licking our wounds in the sun
It's like writin' '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 shoppin' for blinds
