Polly Jean Harvey - Just A Working Girl lyrics

( moonshake ) A sixteen year-old virgin out drinking with his mates. A layman, with the key to the pearly gates, Signs his fake name in illegible scrawl, And a right-on type, the most ashamed of all. Just a working girl - schemes and misses appointments Just a working girl - dreams and disappointments. A fishmonger who hasn't washed for a week. A graphic artist who rinses so much he squeaks. A butcher with knotted muscles and a potted belly. Medical students, alls schoolboy chuckles and petroleum jelly. The overalls of bricklayers on a saturday night. The suits of glum professionals with midweek blight. The gla**es of computer freaks who've laid their software down, And the arses of accountants heaving up and down, up and down. A sales a**istant with his petty hand in the till. The gasman is collecting just one more bill. A headmaster with a polaroid and a pleated uniform. The nightwatchman stops by quickly on his long walk home. Just a working girl - schemes and missed appointments. Just a working girl - dreams and disappointments. Just a working girl - creams and dull apartments.
