lyrics

I’m out round and about the town
With a window-shopping eye;
So much to need, to want, to own,
To dream of or to buy.
Cash in my pocket burning a hole
And the plastic melting down –
Do I use the net,
Do I pass or get,
Shall I spend, spend
Or go to ground?

Another day, another week,
And there’ll be more designer chic,
How do I choose between the good and fine
When the best one’s waiting down the line.

Bigger, smarter, stronger,
Best buy of its type,
Lasting longer,
How long? What’s the hype?
Ergonomic and economy size –
Gotta be discerning,
Gotta be wise.

Another day, another week,
And there’ll be more designer chic,
To lost is to choose between the matt and shine
When the anti-static’s waiting down the line.

…Guaranteed, insurance,
It can talk to you.
Whatever you want
Is what it can do.

Another day, another week,
And there’ll be more designer chic,
Buying it, using it and throwing it out,
I’m dizzy on a deal-a-day roundabout.

Predatory padding up and down
On a hot consumer high.
Assistants here, assistants there,
Persuading me to buy.
Co-ordinated colour, seasonal style
And the tide for no man waits.
But the kudos of cool
Has an unwritten rule -
The quicker you spend
The sooner it dates.

A day, another week,
And there’ll be more designer chic,
How do I choose between the good and fine
When the best one’s waiting down the line?

Barbara Delarbre Wales, UK

I am from the UK and (depending on mood) I'm a drawing, an animation or a puppet! I kid you not. I am the alter-ego of a DIY Indie Instrumental girl–do the whole bang shoot of writing, playing and production. So I've only got myself to blame! You might catch me on bright, moonlit nights, dancing over the mountains twirling my pink umbrella! ... more
