Window Shopping For Blinds Lyrics - Beautiful South

(Heaton/Rotheray) 

One day I'm loaded, next day I'm broke 

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 hotel, 

with the heartbreak but nowhere to stay 

The doors are shut on us, 

the neon light 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 a harvest they yield 

Save your tears for your evening meal, 

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 cocaine 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 

Photos 

It's like the heartbreak hotel, 

with the heartbreak but nowhere to stay 

The doors are shut on us, 

the neon light 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
