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

 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
