Lady In Red

She's got that dress on tonight like a prostitute's lie as she works the tables
She'll speak to whatever guy supplies her all night
Bottles with the expensive labels and I don't think she really knows
I think she's lost somewhere inside
As soon as the music and dance floor goes, she reflects on the flaws in her life

But finds herself in the kebab shop line
Holding hands with a bloke in a suit and tie
They exchange tongues now keep it light
He's battered sausage comes and he takes a bite

Is it bad to yours or is it bad to mine?
Gets passed around until they both decide
Now seeing as he's the romantic type
He offers to go off on a room tonight

She must've found a four leaf clover on the bottom of a rainbow
And asked the unicorn for his shoe
She caught a ride from a chimney sweeper, watched a pig fly over
And climbed aboard a ladder made from bamboo

She picks her dress off the floor
She has done this before on numerous occasions
She opts for a quick smash and grab them straight into her cab
Avoidin' awkward conversations

And I don't think he even knows the secret she keeps inside
A vicious infection that never goes that she caught from another guy
Now lives her life seeking revenge on dirty dogs in the West End
Who boast about their bonuses and purse and love a good story for the boys at work
So they cheat on their missus's all the time covered up with well-rushed webs of lies
Well, there's no coming back from this next surprise, no Oscar winning bullshit or alibis

She must've found a four leaf clover on the bottom of a rainbow
And asked the unicorn for his shoe
She caught a ride from a chimney sweeper, watched a pig fly over
And climbed aboard a ladder made from bamboo

There must be someone that can stop all of this madness
But hold to this sadistic woman's games (only one, only one, only one)
Despite their false occasional greedy intentions, I cannot agree, selecting stereotypically
She puts her dress on again with the evil intent of the fire she sleeps in
Looks in the mirror and sees what she was supposed to be, regret starts to creep in

She fights for the strength to give it all up
Put the revenge to the side
Go to quirky bars instead of nightclubs
And she might meet someone nice

But as soon as her heel steps into the road
She's unaware that she is being followed
They have never met so the threat's unrealised
But they are connected between their thighs

Anger's an energy that sends people mad
And can turn good uncharacteristically bad
She's destroyed family life and trust
Goes head first under a double-decker bus

She must've found a four leaf clover on the bottom of a rainbow
And asked a unicorn for his shoe
She caught a ride from a chimney sweeper, watched a pig fly over
And climbed aboard a ladder made from bamboo
