There is misery in all i hear and see
from the people on tv
after their tea when life begins again
they`ll be happier than me
there are a thousand meals being made on saturday
from the view i saw today
i took a bet inside the launderette
with a girl from wallasey
she spoke in dialect i could not understand
but one thing that she made clear
there was no coming onto her
there was no way
--
There is misery in all i hear and see
from the people on tv
after their tea when life begins again
they`ll be happier than me
there are a thousand meals being made on saturday
from the view i saw today
i took a bet inside the launderette
with a girl from wallasey
she spoke in dialect i could not understand
but one thing that she made clear
there was no coming onto her
there was no intellect
that she could respect
if it couldn`t see
that the girl just wants to be
left alone with marx and engels for a while
she`s writing in the style
of any riot girl
