Trash Glam Baby

Oh no, another shit Saturday night
My jeans don't fit and the money is tight
Adele is working down at the charity shop
They got a pair of boots in so maybe she'll swap
For my Biba blouse and my pink feather boa
Is shedding all its feathers I don't wanna live no more
I got my diamante and my stick-on stars
I got my New York Dolls, I got my Spiders From Mars

Trash Glam Baby, it's a trash can world
Through the glitter ball honey, through the glitter bomb
Dancing by yourself at the Moth Club tonight
Maybe getting burned dancing too close to the lights

In class they teach "World Civilizations"
I can't get my head around the whole situation
I mean how can you have an adult conversation
Without talking about Trash Glam Nation

Trash Glam Baby, it's a trash can world
Through the glitter ball honey, through the glitter bomb
Dancing by yourself at the Moth Club tonight
Maybe getting burned dancing too close to the lights

Trash Glam Baby, trash can world
Glitter ball honey, glitter bomb
Dancing by yourself at the Moth Club tonight
Maybe getting burned dancing too close to the lights

Yeah I'm a Tank Top Terrorist, I'm making the scene
My fishnets gotten ladders all along the seams
I'm your basic vacant youth if you know what I mean
It ain't Retro, it's just Metro 2017

Trash Glam Baby, it's a trash can world
Through the glitter ball honey, through the glitter bomb
Dancing by yourself at the Moth Club tonight
Maybe getting burned dancing too close to the lights

Another shit Saturday night
Another shit Saturday night
My jeans don't fit and the money is tight
Another shit Saturday night

b/w There's No Tomorrow Like Today

You keep saying diamond rings don't do it for you
Because some rocks on those knuckles
That are bigger than an Oppenheim mine

But see it's late in the P.M.
You'd better carpe that diem
You're way outta time
You're way outta line
Baby seize that day, yeah yeah yeah yeah

See, I don't want to break ya when I shake ya
I'm just trying to wake you up, girl
They might put me on a charge
But I'd get off for justifiable cause

'Cause no jury would convict me
Saying, "Yeah, he's strictly guilty
Unanimously he's gonna walk free
'Cause we all can say, yeah yeah yeah"

That there's no tomorrow quite like today
Now, there's no tomorrow quite like today
Now, there's no tomorrow, beg steal or borrow
You read in your tea leaves, your I Ching and Tarot
They came to say
There's no tomorrow like today

Yeah, sometimes lately
It feels that it's a Shakespeare play that we're in
If he had to do a re-write
You'd be Hamlet in skirts

Oh, my little procrastinator
You delayer and prevaricator
I prognosticate
I ain't gonna wait
Or hang any longer

When there's no tomorrow quite like today
(No tomorrow like today)
There's no tomorrow quite like today
Now, there's no tomorrow, beg steal or borrow
You read in your tea leaves, your I Ching and Tarot
They all agree
There's no tomorrow like today

There's a whole world waiting out there for us, babe
I don't know what we're meant to do
But I've got a hunch or clue
It involves me and you
You need to take the longer view

Tomorrow quite like today
(No tomorrow like today)
Tomorrow quite like today
(No tomorrow)
Now, there's no tomorrow, beg steal or borrow
You throw in the dice and the I Ching and Tarot
What if they say
There's no tomorrow like today
There's no tomorrow like today
There's no tomorrow like today
There's no tomorrow like today
There's no tomorrow like today
Today
