When Fine Society Sits Down To Dine Lyrics - Chumbawamba

With her friends on a road less travelled, on a journey of do's and dares 

Looking back on a fear of leaving and forgetting how it felt to be scared 

There are those paying fancy prices to pretend they have fancy lives 

But at every charity banquet the majority stay outside 

(Chorus) 

We play to a packed gallery 

We smile for the CCTV 

We're making our own history 

When fine society sits down to dine, remember that someone is pissing in the wine 

Pissing in the wine, pissing in the wine 

Remember that someone is pissing in the wine 

She'd love to be dancing the tango and she traces the steps in her mind 

You can tell by the snap of her fingers that she moves to a different time 

Where all the quiet submission is smeared in lipstick red 

And every act is a crime of passion 

"That's not all she wrote," she said 

(Repeats) 

(Repeat chorus)
