Artist: The Beautiful South
Song: window shopping for blinds
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
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
