Beautiful South - Window Shopping For Blinds Lyrics
(heaton/rotheray)One day Im loaded, next day Im brokeSpent all my money on whisky and cokeRiding high till the rock hit the spokeIts like window shopping for blindsSpent all my money on a sunbed tanSpoke the best that a young girl canEnded up with a blind drunk manIts like window shopping for blindsIts like the heartbreak hotel,With the heartbreak but nowhere to stayThe doors are shut on us,The neon light fading to greyThey say I drink too much, to me, well thats just profoundHow do you know you cant swim, until you have drowned?Well theres always a drop in the bottle ladyAlways a sip of the wineThe glass doesnt seem quite so emptyWhen window shopping for blindsIts like gatecrashing a field, thats not true,Theyve a harvest they yieldSave your tears for your evening meal,When youre window shopping for blindsOne day youre sober, next day youre notOne day remembered, the next day forgotSpent all my money on cocaine and potIts like window shopping for blindsCovered in bruises from head to toeNo-one to speak to, and nowhere to goA map of nowhere, and nowhere I knowIts like window shopping for blindsIts like the heartbreak hotel,With the heartbreak but nowhere to stayThe doors are shut on us,The neon light fading to greyThey say I drink too much, to me, well thats just profoundHow do you know you cant swim, until you have drowned?Well theres always a drop in the bottle ladyAlways a sip of the wineThe glass doesnt seem quite so emptyWhen window shopping for blindsBut what if my husband should come?Well tell me what have you done?Ive cherished my vodka, Ive cherished my rumDont mind us, were just licking our wounds in the sunIts like writing i love you in snowYou know when you write it the message will goI want a message my lover will findDont mind us, were just window shopping for blinds
