Polyester from Othello by Claire Welles

Will never go to America
don't like what I saw once on a computer
running around, heading to town
pulling a frown to protect themselves
running away, just to hide from the officework of yesterday

I'll never go to a pizza bar
in the middle of a place called Utah
it's full of lonely people, broken people
abject people
I don't like what I saw once at the cinema

I wore polyester the other day
was quite the norm in the olden days you could say
now I'm left with the sense that I'm fading away
it's judgement day...
I wore polyester the other night
the level of attraction gave us both a fright
so we cut through some shops just to get away
in this urban decay

well...I'll never drink a cup of tea
in a sweet little place called Tennesse
fooling around, heading to town
pulling a gun to protect ourselves
running away, just to hide from the pain of yesterday

I wore polyester the other day
was quite the norm in the olden days you could say
now I'm left with the sense that I'm fading away
it's judgement day...
I wore polyester the other night
the level of attraction gave us both a fright
so we cut through some shops just to get away
in this urban decay

He still thinks it's 1993
and he lives in my head absolutely rent free
at the second time of asking
I know it's time for my bed
the American dream is to steal
absolutely everything
so you'd better lock all your doors
and carefully hide the key, give it to me

I wore polyester the other day
was quite the norm in the olden days you could say
now I'm left with the sense that I'm fading away
it's judgement day...
I wore polyester the other night
the level of attraction gave us both a fright
so we cut through some shops just to get away
in this urban decay
