somewhere between heaven and woolworth's - brian patten & graham layden lyrics

[intro, graham layden]
oh, somewhere between heaven and woolworth’s
i live, i love, i scold
i keep kingfishers in their cages
and goldfish in their bowls

[verse 1, brian patten]
she keeps kingfishers in their cages and goldfish in their bowls
she is lovely and she is afraid of such things as growing cold
she’s had enough men to please her, though they were more cruel than kind
and their love, an act in isolation, a form of pantomime
say, she has forgotten the feelings that she shared
at various all night parties among the couples on the stairs
for, among the songs and dancing, she was once open wide
a girl, dressed in denim, with the boys encased in lies
eating roses on toast with tulip b*tter
praying for a mirror to stay young
though, on it’s no*longer gilted surface
this message, she has scrawled

[outro, graham layden]
oh, somewhere between heaven and woolworth’s
i live, i love, i scold
i keep kingfishers in their cages
and goldfish in their bowls
