For the price of a cup of tea
|
You'd get a line of coke
|
For the price of a night with me
|
You'd be the village joke
|
For the price of a pint of milk
|
I'll tell you all I know
|
About the state of the world today
|
Sit down, enjoy the show
|
|
She had several hours to find a place to stay
|
Try the coffee shop, but somewhere on the way
|
She heard about a place, somewhere she could go
|
Walked a couple of blocks to her destination
|
|
For the price of a cup of tea
|
You'd get a seven inches
|
Soul black vinyl to stop your tears
|
You can use my stereo
|
You might be the village joke but
|
Don't listen to the gossip of the other folk
|
|
She just wants to be accepted in this place
|
There's something in her face
|
She will always seem exotic and aloof
|
If you want to know the truth
|
Her friend the stars dripping from the jewelled sky
|
When she was passing by
|
Would keep her calm
|
There was people that she knew, at least she thought she did
|
Be easy on the kid!
|
|
She took her winter coat from her plastic wrapper
|
Pushed back her fringe, see her birthmark
|
|
she can finally be the person she wanted to be
|
