Despite All This

She’s a fully paid up, card carrying member

Of the socially inept

Ain’t got no air or graces

Just a sense of self loathing

She’s lost all self respect

Monday’s child’s looking out, through tear stained windows

Friday’s child is looking in

She wants to get back

To where it all started

She just don’t know where to begin

Despite all this, she’s shinning through

Despite all this, she’ll smile again

Despite all this, she’s shinning through

Despite all this, she’s gonna win

She needs to find someone, someone to hold her

And wipe away her tears

Someone she can plan with

And look to the future

And take away her fears

Despite all this, she’s shinning through

Despite all this, she’ll smile again

Despite all this, she’s shinning through

Despite all this, she’s gonna win

And if you see past the funny hair and makeup

You’ll see the spark in her eyes

Doing jobs for a pound that no-one else will take up

She don’t believe in compromise

She don’t believe in compromise

Despite all this, despite all this

She’s shinning through, she’s shinning through

Despite all this, she’ll smile again

Despite all this, despite all this

She’s shinning through, she’s shinning through

Despite all this, she’s gonna win

She’s a fully paid up, card carrying member

Of the socially inept
