Lyrics
Mary opens the long-locked door and takes a look outside shuffles past the family pet and kicks the cans aside   She takes a left turn on her way to get what she's been given she waits in line to grab her share of modern urban living   Mary hurries along the road her next appointment waiting they know her at the corner shop they know her thirst needs slaking Doesn't look beyond the faded picture on the wall Couldn't care the phone is broke 'Cos no-one ever calls   Back in her home she sits alone with daytime soaps and drinking she waits until the dreams arrive and drowns in wishful thinking She's the queen of wishful thinking Doesn't look beyond the faded picture on the wall Couldn't care the phone is broke 'Cos no-one ever calls
