Lyrics
Welcome to our shop
Peruse our shelves of stock
All items here were once held dear
Most hold a story of many years
Step in and have a look
We've picture frames of unknown age
Mirrored glass and hanging drapes
To occupy the children's mind
A doll that they will have to wind
Don't mind the feeling stare
Choose an item
Step inside the past and let the tales retell
The roles that they performed so well
Please consider
Your high street dealers
Would they have things like these to sell?
A few of these should be condemned to hell
Photographs of families
Strange some people stay
And others fade away
He had his point of view
But others saw what they wanted to
And forced them into ground
Concealed within their poisonous shroud
Perhaps you've heard enough from me
Feel free to browse you've got all day to find
What you are looking for
Then take it home your antique to adore
Just don't grow too attached
'cause I'm abound to get it back
Choose an item
Step inside the past and let the tales retell
The roles that they performed so well
Please consider
Your high street dealers
Would they have things like these to sell?
A few of these should be condemned to hell
