Window Shopping For Blinds - The Beautiful South

Window Shopping For Blinds - Beautiful South
Written by：Paul Heaton/Dave Rotheray
One day I'm loaded next day I'm broke
Spent all my money on whisky and coke
Riding high 'till the rock hot 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 lights 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 harvest they yield
Save your tears for your evening meals
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 coc*ine 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 lights 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
