about

Impressions of living off the "kindness" of others.

lyrics

It’s not so much about the price of drinks,
the cost of coats gets you down
You’d do anything to avoid a fight,
even leave your hometown

There is nothin like a so-called friend
with his hands down your shirt
Lipstick message written on the wall
you didn’t read a word

Wash a dish
Fix a drink
That’s all he wants of you

Hang your coat
Rest your feet
That’s all you have to do

You can borrow some old rusty bike
ride it down to catch the train
Spend your days among those moldy books,
your nights sucking sugarcane

There is nothing like a so-called friend
With his grip on your sleeve
You will shed off that overcoat
When you know you gotta leave

Break a dish
Scream and drink
That’s all he wants of you
Leave your coat
Call the cops
There’s nothing else to do

Move in Tuesday with another man,
And you find that you don’t care.
He might love you for what it’s worth
And you’ve got a new coat to wear. You’ve got a new coat to wear.
