Librium Lyrics

she set the deck chair in the yard facing a four o'clock sun she was so wrecked her mouth was dry and she could barely feel her tongue so she smeared sun cream on her nose 'cause her nose stuck out a mile put on last summers bikini top and sat out a while then she felt better already she felt better already she felt better already with a little bit of sun a little bit of sun a little bit of sun and librium goes a long long way the house was empty just for once and she wasn't answering the phone it wasn't often she had the chance to have the time alone later on she would look up her new man her new man an alcoholic and a crook but someone who could understand that she felt better already... they met at the maudsley in a psychiatric ward both were drunks and both were sober and both were terminally bored when she got out she went six weeks dry and that was something of a record so last night she had to celebrate by drinking everything she could afford now she felt better already... as she sat in the deck chair she shut her eyes and smiled and cast a shadow across the lawn like a sun dial she could tell it was time to change
