Spent all my money on whisky and coke Riding high till the rock hit 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 hotelwith the heartbreak but nowhere to stay The doors are shut on usthe neon lights fading to grey They say I drink too muchto mewell that s just profound How do you know you can t swimuntil 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 fieldthat s not truethey ve a harvest they yield Save your tears for your evening meal when you re window shopping for blinds One day you re sobernext day you re not One day rememberedthe next day forgot Spent all my money on cocaine and pot It s like window shopping for blinds Covered in bruised from head to toe No-one to speak toand nowhere to go A map of nowhereand nowhere I know It s like window shopping for blinds It s like the heartbreak hotelwith the heartbreak but nowhere to stay The doors are shut on usthe neon lights fading to grey They say I drink too muchto mewell that s just profound How do you know you can t swimuntil 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 vodkaI ve cherished my rum Don t mind uswe re just licking our wounds in the sun It s like writing I love you in snow You know when you write the message it will go I want a message my lover will find Don t mind uswe re just window shopping for blinds
