The only thing she wants for breakfast is vodka and lime
Then it's "hold the lime no hold the vodka"
Just coffee and a cigarette this time
And I hear the baby crying, I hear the baby crying
The colour's been turned down, the champagne's all flat
She knows he's not coming back to a world with no soundtrack
She long ago ducked under her fighting weight
Her dress is like a flag round a pole, "isn't that great?"
Cos she waves the flag for the single mothers
She waves the flag for the single mothers
That almost made her laugh that's a victory in fact
She knows he's not coming back to a world with no soundtrack
Days pass in a daze and then they turn into weeks
I wonder why they don’t even speak
She bites her lip, the blood spills into her mouth
She's got a bit of colour back
To a world with no soundtrack
