(heaton/rotheray)
one day iand'm loaded, next day iand'm broke
spent all my money on whisky and coke
riding high and'till the rock hit the spoke
itand'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
itand's like window shopping for blinds
Itand'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 thatand's just profound
how do you know you canand't swim, until you have drowned?
Well thereand's always a drop in the bottle lady
always a sip of the wine
the glass doesnand't seem quite so empty
when window shopping for blinds
Itand's like gatecrashing a field, thatand's not true,
theyand've a harvest they yield
save your tears for your evening meal,
when youand're window shopping for blinds
One day youand're sober, next day youand're not
one day remembered, the next day forgot
spent all my money on cocaine and pot
itand'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
itand's like window shopping for blinds
Itand'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 thatand's just profound
how do you know you canand't swim, until you have drowned?
Well thereand's always a drop in the bottle lady
always a sip of the wine
the glass doesnand't seem quite so empty
when window shopping for blinds
But what if my husband should come?
well tell me what have you done?
iand've cherished my vodka, iand've cherished my rum
donand't mind us, weand're just licking our wounds in the sun
Itand's like writing and'i love youand' in snow
you know when you write it the message will go
i want a message my lover will find
donand't mind us, weand're just window shopping for blinds
