  • Sitting by the window, she's
    Sitting by the door, her
    Nose upon the window is cold
    Nails upon the window breaking
    Nails upon the door
    Looking through the window no more

    No, no more
    No more

    Some fun, look dumb
    Put a stone in the musical window
    She don't buy high time
    Disco, won't you leave me alone
    Down, she won't go
    She can't fit through a typical door
    No way-oh (no way-oh)
    No way-oh (no way-oh)
    No way-oh (no way-oh)
    No way

    We're going to America
    We're gonna tell them about the NHS
    When we get there we'll all hang out
    Sipping 40's with Huck and Jim

    Everywhere sham Bohemians
    Hello magazine bohemians
    Terminal chancers who loathe
    The privileged who loathe their privilege
    The skin upon the custard is hard
    Yes, it's hard

    Flat scum, you got some
    Hanging from a toe in a tenth-floor window
    Pass out, no bar
    There's no theoretical look down
    There is no down
    Something's gone and you're missing it now
    No way-oh (no way-oh)
    No way-oh (no way-oh)
    No way-oh (no way-oh)
    No way

    We're going to America
    We're gonna tell them about the DSS
    When we get there we'll all hang out
    Sipping 40's with Huck and Jim, yeah

    We're going to America. yeah
    We're gonna tell them about the NHS
    When we get there we'll all hang out
