Specials - Pearl's Cafe lyrics

You saw a woman in a cafe, lips of crimson, yellow grin Her shoes were wrong and she looked extremely thin Her j**els 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
