Pearl's Cafe Lyrics - More Specials - Specials

You saw a woman in a cafe, lips of crimson, yellow grin 

Her shoes were wrong and she looked extremely thin 

Her jewels were faked, she'd had a rinse, her hair was greyish blue 

She looked ashamed when she explained to you 

It ain't easy when there's no-one to lean on 

It ain't easy when there's nobody there 

It ain't easy when your lovers are all gone 

Nobody there, nobody cares 

The pubs were closed she'd got nowhere to go when she'd spilled her tea 

Have you never thought "One day that could be me"? 

Her temper changed, she looked so deranged, her perfume turned to gin 

You looked at her and she began to sing 

It's all a load of bollocks 

It's all a load of bollocks 

It's all a load of bollocks 

And bollocks to it all 

You tell me you think that they should lock her away and scrape the make-up off her skin 

Then we'd see the warts around her chin 

She tried to keep her looks but lost her mind when she lost her youth and grace 

Your words were just an insult to her face 

It ain't easy when there's no-one to lean on 

It ain't easy when there's nobody there 

It ain't easy when your lovers are all gone 

And bollocks to it all 

When I first met you, I really thought you were a wet dream come true 

Now I know that you don't care, about somebody else's nightmare
