Pj Harvey - Just A Working Girl lyrics

( Moonshake ) A sixteen year-old virgin out drinking with his mates A layman, with the key to the Pearly Gates Signs his fake name in illegible scrawl And a right-on type, the most ashamed of all Just a working girl - schemes and misses appointments Just a working girl - dreams and disappointments A fishmonger who hasn't washed for a week A graphic artist who rinses so much he squeaks A butcher with knotted muscles and a potted belly Medical students, alls schoolboy chuckles and petroleum jelly The overalls of bricklayers on a Saturday night The suits of glum professionals with midweek blight The gla**es of computer freaks who've laid their software down And the arses of accountants heaving up and down, up and down A sales a**istant with his petty hand in the till The gasman is collecting just one more bill A headmaster with a Polaroid and a pleated uniform The nightwatchman stops by quickly on his long walk home Just a working girl - schemes and missed appointments Just a working girl - dreams and disappointments Just a working girl - creams and dull apartments
