For the Price of a Cup of Tea |
| For the price of a cup of tea |
| You’d get a line of coke |
| For the price of a night with me |
| You’d be the village joke |
| For the price of a pint of milk |
| I’ll tell you all I know |
| About the state of the world today |
| Sit down, enjoy the show |
| She had several hours to find a place to stay |
| Try the coffee shop, but somewhere on the way |
| She heard about a place, somewhere she could go |
| Walked a couple of blocks to her destination |
| For the price of a cup of tea |
| You’d get a seven inches |
| Soul black vinyl to stop your tears |
| You can use my stereo |
| You might be the village joke but |
| Don’t listen to the gossip of the other folk |
| She just wants to be accepted in this place |
| There’s something in her face |
| She will always seem exotic and aloof |
| If you want to know the truth |
| Her friend the stars dripping from the jewelled sky |
| When she was passing by |
| Would keep her calm |
| There was people that she knew, at least she thought she did |
| Be easy on the kid! |
| She took her winter coat from her plastic wrapper |
| Pushed back her fringe, see her birthmark |
| She can finally be the person she wanted to be |
