Why She's a Girl from the Chainstore Lyrics

Why she's a girl from the chainstore
Why she's a girl from the chainstore
She told me my attitude was wrong
I had to find out where she came from

Why she's a girl from the chainstore
Why she's a girl from the chainstore
Her name was written on her coat
Her life was a miserable anecdote

She loved her mother and her father
They never missed her birthday
Listen to everything they said
Like never miss your birthday

Why she's a girl from the chainstore
Why she's a girl from the chainstore
A product of environment
Another flesh wound in a tenement

Why she's a girl from the chainstore
Why she's a girl from the chainstore

Why she's a girl from the chainstore
Why she's a girl from the chainstore
Facing Bernstein's barrier
Waiting for someone to marry her

Why she's a girl from the chainstore
Why she's a girl from the chainstore
Down there at the discotheque
Waiting for someone to bite her neck.

I used to think "chainstore" was British-speak for jewelry store. But now I think it means a store that is part of a"chain of stores," like K-Mart or Target in the US.

Which is right?

@TonyInPortland I just looked it up: "One of a series of shops owned by one firm and selling the same goods." So yes, the second one is right.\r\nDavid in Portland, OR

@TonyInPortland The Walmart / Gap theory is correct.

I have to wonder if this was something one of the band's members told their parents when the parents asked "With whom are you going out?" as a cover.
