Dirty Magazine Lyrics
Cut-out picture of a sugar tart
With olive skin and a purple heart
Concrete shoes, it's just the start
Of bigger things unseen
Heroes of our glory days
They ride upon the hip-hoorays
Of hometown girls who've been displayed
In dirty magazines
And what am I supposed to do with you
Just tell me everything I've heard before
Like it was news
The miners strike, hold out for love
We bust their heads, push and shove
By helmet light we rise above
And say look out below
They're such a grim romantic crew
Say they won't forget but do
It leaves them free to cry anew
At every song we know
But what am I supposed to do with you
Just tell me everything I want to hear
Like it was true
Sometimes I wish that I was king
And held the end of every string
The fear the prize the mortal sting
Of what will come of this
For now I'll let all chance unwind
To keep our secret hearts entwined
And if I choose to see this as a sign
Then it surely is
And what am I supposed to do with you
Just tell me everything I've heard before
Like it was news
Like it was news
With olive skin and a purple heart
Concrete shoes, it's just the start
Of bigger things unseen
They ride upon the hip-hoorays
Of hometown girls who've been displayed
In dirty magazines
Just tell me everything I've heard before
Like it was news
We bust their heads, push and shove
By helmet light we rise above
And say look out below
Say they won't forget but do
It leaves them free to cry anew
At every song we know
Just tell me everything I want to hear
Like it was true
And held the end of every string
The fear the prize the mortal sting
Of what will come of this
To keep our secret hearts entwined
And if I choose to see this as a sign
Then it surely is
Just tell me everything I've heard before
Like it was news
