The Venus Of The Soup Kitchen-Prefab Sprout[00:00:00]

The Venus of the soup kitchen is waiting there for me[00:00:00]

And all us poor cripples who've been in the wars[00:00:12]

And up sleeping on her floor [00:00:22]

Woah [00:00:28]

When you're scared of down and out[00:00:33]

You keep it to yourself and if anyone suspects[00:00:36]

You say : "Who me Hardly "[00:00:41]

You tell him "Thank your stars this isn't Derby day[00:00:45]

'Cos it's clear you've got the gift for backing the wrong horse Charlie "[00:00:49]

Woah [00:00:55]

When you're scared of down and out[00:01:00]

You camouflage your fear with a fakin' D J smile[00:01:03]

And maybe some boogie dancin'[00:01:08]

But there's no need to be proud[00:01:11]

Hey if something's hurtin' you[00:01:14]

Could be it hurts your brothers too[00:01:16]

From Langley Park to Memphis[00:01:19]

Last night last night I dreamed I dared to raise my head[00:01:22]

The Venus of the soup kitchen stood over me[00:01:32]

Singin' : "Sometimes the job gets you down[00:01:40]

You're ashamed that the word will get round[00:01:45]

Well all you poor cripples who've been in the wars[00:01:51]

End up sleeping on my floor "[00:02:02]

Woah [00:02:08]

Now some will spin you yarns to keep you quiet for a while[00:02:13]

But you know that's not my style who needs fancy footwork [00:02:19]

'Cos none of it adds up no it doesn't weigh a thing[00:02:25]

And it doesn't buy you beer from Langley Park to Memphis[00:02:30]

Last ight last night I dreamed I dared to raise my head[00:02:35]

The Venus of the soup kitchen stood over me[00:02:45]

Singin' : "Here you are and I won't tell you've no one else but me[00:02:53]

Every night I know you'll be here staring hungrily[00:03:05]

Well here you are no I won't tell 'cos everyone I know[00:03:13]

Wanders down here every night they've nowhere else to go "[00:03:27]

The Venus of the soup kitchen is standing there over me[00:03:37]

Every night I'm gonna be here staring hungrily[00:03:49]

The Venus of the soup kitchen is waiting there for me[00:03:59]

And all us poor cripples who've been in the wars[00:04:10]

End up sleeping on her floor[00:04:20]
