Spend It on the Enemy (While It Was Raining) Lyrics by Autistic Daughters

Jealousy and Diamond

2005

Oh Annie how we shook up town again
There we were running up bills
Watching cars empty from a windowsill
Of a bar as you looked in
There were people there still
You were on the outside looking in
This was late September
I was dancing with a saline drip on
When the lights came up
You were dancing there like a bull in a China shop
You know no beginnings
You're always singing
Forever spinning
And there's no apparent ending
In week or two wе'll grow angry and bored
With the street below
And I'll givе you anything that you want
To see you lift that heart of stone
When the streets have filled up with ladies with red eyes
Trying to salvage the whole damn thing
For heaven's sake glamour, use a hammer
I wait on the windowsill
What do you really want?
You're no China doll
No China doll
While you were holding office up
Gravity is spilling cups in heaven built for a theatre
The angels there were practising your name
(The angels there were practising your name
The angels there were practising your name)
I'm not giving clues today
Except the room was hardly full
Except for a couple of stools
And the chandelier lights hanging over me
Were reflecting in the eyes of her majesty
Burning a hole in our uncertainty
And rendering grey patches on dignity
Then you know you're effectively someone
Who you know sings in every voice you've ever heard
Anna we were tearing through the dust
Lust replacing our last chance
You struggle with words and a sideways glance
That says Alma Mahler just asked you to dance
And at the end of all your majesty oh
Can't you see you're just distracting me
"Well it was raining when you came here
You can take it when you leave"
