Lyrics for Just a working girl by Polly Jean Harvey:
| | | Artist: | Polly Jean Harvey |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Just a working girl | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 50 | | | | Lyrics: | A sixteen year-old virgin out drinking with his mates.
A layman, with the key to the Pearly
Gates,
signs his fake name in illegible scrawl,
and a right-on type, the most ashamed of
all.
Just a working girl - schemes and misses appointments
Just a working girl - dreams
and disappointments.
A fishmonger who hasn't washed for a week.
A graphic artist who
rinses so much he squeaks.
A butcher with knotted muscles and a potted belly.
Medical
students, alls schoolboy chuckles and petroleum jelly.
The overalls of bricklayers on a
Saturday night.
The suits of glum professionals with midweek blight.
The glasses of computer
freaks who've laid their software down,
and the arses of accountants heaving up and down, up and
down.
A sales assistant with his petty hand in the till.
The gasman is collecting just
one more bill.
A headmaster with a Polaroid and a pleated uniform.
The nightwatchman stops
by quickly on his long walk home.
Just a working girl - schemes and missed
appointments.
Just a working girl - dreams and disappointments.
Just a working girl - creams
and dull apartments. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
