She Rolled Her Own

Lyrics

[Verse 1] At the front door, you were greeted By a carpet of silver and gold To silence visiting footsteps And the stories footsteps told And the walls were lined with paintings From friends that she'd once known Above an L-shaped couch and easy chair In a living room she called home [Pre-Chorus 1] The toilet door unhinged Like no-one even cared The mirror in the bathroom That no-one could have shared The kitchen door ajar You feel the cutting cold A sink of last year's dishes An oven of last year's mould [Chorus] If you felt like neon tetra In aquarium after dark Your day spent shining brightly When they've paid to see the shark When it came to finally settling down When it came to setting up home When it came to keep me company She rolled her own; she rolled her own [Verse 2] Those priceless vinyl records Every perfect household has The carefully positioned Robert Johnson The well-placed West Coast jazz She just piled hers anyhow The way they chose to fall It didn't matter how they lay She cried a tear to each and all [Pre-Chorus 1] The toilet door unhinged Like no-one even cared The mirror in the bathroom That no-one could have shared The kitchen door ajar You feel the cutting cold A sink of last year's dishes An oven of last year's mould [Chorus] If you felt like neon tetra In aquarium after dark Your day spent shining brightly When they've paid to see the shark When it came to finally settling down When it came to setting up home When it came to keep me company She rolled her own; she rolled her own [Pre-Chorus 2] Finally, to the bedroom On bedside lamp in bed A wide open diary So every sucker read Read it and you'll see She chose to leave her mark Swinging from a tree In public park [Chorus] If you felt like neon tetra In aquarium after dark Your day spent shining brightly When they've paid to see the shark When it came to finally settling down When it came to setting up home When it came to keep me company She rolled her own; she rolled her own
