She Rolled Her Own Lyrics by Paul Heaton

The Cross Eyed Rambler

2008

[Verse 1]
At the front door, you were greeted
By a carpet of silver and gold
To silence visiting footsteps
And the stories footsteps told

And the walls were lined with paintings
From friends that she'd once known
Above an L-shaped couch and easy chair
In a living room she called home

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The toilet door unhinged
Like no-one even cared
The mirror in the bathroom
That no-one could have shared

The kitchen door ajar
You feel the cutting cold
A sink of last year's dishes
An oven of last year's mould

[Chorus]
If you felt like neon tetra
In aquarium after dark
Your day spent shining brightly
When they've paid to see the shark

When it came to finally settling down
When it came to setting up home
When it came to keep me company
She rolled her own; she rolled her own

[Verse 2]
Those priceless vinyl records
Every perfect household has
The carefully positioned Robert Johnson
The well-placed West Coast jazz

She just piled hers anyhow
The way they chose to fall
It didn't matter how they lay
She cried a tear to each and all

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The toilet door unhinged
Like no-one even cared
The mirror in the bathroom
That no-one could have shared

The kitchen door ajar
You feel the cutting cold
A sink of last year's dishes
An oven of last year's mould

[Chorus]
If you felt like neon tetra
In aquarium after dark
Your day spent shining brightly
When they've paid to see the shark

When it came to finally settling down
When it came to setting up home
When it came to keep me company
She rolled her own; she rolled her own

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Finally, to the bedroom
On bedside lamp in bed
A wide open diary
So every sucker read

Read it and you'll see
She chose to leave her mark
Swinging from a tree
In public park

[Chorus]
If you felt like neon tetra
In aquarium after dark
Your day spent shining brightly
When they've paid to see the shark

When it came to finally settling down
When it came to setting up home
When it came to keep me company
She rolled her own; she rolled her own
