Chemical world

by Blur

Album: Modern life is rubbish [#7]

the pay-me girl has had enough of the bleeps
so she takes a bus into the country
although she got herself rosy cheeks
she didn't leave enough money to pay the rent
the lanlord says that she's out in a week
what a shame she was just getting comfy
now she's eating chocolate to induce sleep
in a chemical world it's very, very, very cheap

(chorus)
and i don't know about you
they've been putting the holes in, yes yes
it's been a hell of a do
they've been putting the holes in, yes yes

peeping thomas has a very nice view
across the street at the exhibitionist
these townies they never speak to you
just stick together so they never get lonely
feeling lead, feeling quite light-headed
had to sit down and have some sugary tea
in chemical world, in a chemical world it's very, very, very,
cheap.

[CHORUS]
