Spend, Spend, Spend - The Slits

I am trapped in a flood, but it isn’t raining

I have a tendency to get bored too quickly

Recently my dull life seems to have no meaning

I am stuck with someone, we’re not communicating

I want to buy

(Have you been affected?)

I need consoling

(You could be addicted)

I need something new

Something trivial would do

I want to satisfy this empty feeling

Walking down the street looking in the windows

The TV, the lights flickering in other peoples windows

Imagine myself moving in the kitchens

Somehow I don’t know, it just looks so tempting

I want to buy

(Have you been affected?)

I need consoling

(You could be addicted)

I need something new

Something trivial would do

I want to satisfy this empty feeling

I’ve got a new, improved remedy

Two of my lonely fantasies ???

When I supply myself with something new…

Going home, into bed when I’ve treated myself

I’ve been quite hard, after a hard day’s work

I have found a hundred ways to get rid of all my worries

He’s not pillaging, stopping me, committing a crime

I have to buy

(Have you been affected?)

I need consoling

(You could be addicted)

I need something new

Something trivial would do

I want to satisfy this empty feeling

I’ve got a new improved remedy

Two of my lonely fantasies
