Cheap Chipped Black Nails - Graham Parker[00:00:00]
Written By:Graham Parker[00:00:01]
Now that you're back in town[00:00:28]
You look around at everything[00:00:30]
Well it could be anywhere on earth[00:00:34]
Tryin' to count your change[00:00:41]
Inside the Asian store[00:00:44]
But you can't figure what it's worth[00:00:47]
And she stands there like a specter[00:00:53]
On the corner of the street[00:00:56]
And you know you can't expect her[00:00:59]
To be subtle or discreet no no no and[00:01:02]
Her cheap chipped black nails[00:01:09]
Scratch the surface off a future[00:01:12]
That just left you in the past[00:01:16]
Her cheap chipped black nails[00:01:22]
Pick the threads out of a suture[00:01:25]
That was holdin' your life fast[00:01:29]
Her cheap chipped black nails[00:01:35]
Her cheap chipped black nails[00:01:42]
She's got the bulldog tamed[00:01:48]
Docile and subservient[00:01:51]
And now it doesn't make a fuss[00:01:54]
She runs with these sparky kids[00:02:01]
Who talk into their mobile phones[00:02:04]
Well there must be so much to discuss[00:02:07]
And you remember where you came from[00:02:13]
But you don't know where it's gone[00:02:16]
And you cannot find a name on[00:02:19]
The street where you came from no no no and[00:02:23]
Her cheap chipped black nails[00:02:29]
Show a wanton skill on the game tables[00:02:32]
The pinball and the pool[00:02:36]
Her cheap chipped black nails[00:02:42]
Scratch the surface off an England[00:02:45]
That has made her hard and cruel[00:02:49]
Her cheap chipped black nails[00:02:55]
And you remember where you came from[00:03:27]
But you don't recognize don't recognize it now[00:03:30]
And you can't expect her mercy[00:03:34]
Well that much she won't allow no no no and[00:03:37]
Her cheap chipped black nails[00:03:43]
Scratch the surface off a future[00:03:47]
That just left you left you in the past[00:03:50]
Her cheap chipped black nails[00:03:56]
Pick the threads out of a suture[00:04:00]
That was holdin' your life fast[00:04:03]
Her cheap chipped black nails[00:04:09]
Her cheap chipped black nails[00:04:16]
