She dreams of Staten Island
She never ever dreams of Walthamstow
Her friends are getting married

Getting their haircut like Jill Dando
She hopes that Terry Soanes won't ask her out tonight for the 4th time
She wants to be alone

With the curtains drawn and the stereo on
She swings her hips and dances to the Wu-Tang Clan
And the sadness ebbs away now
She shuts her eyes, throws her head up high
It's better when there's no one around
And she's feeling something real now

And on the train home everyone moves away

Because she stinks of work
And she does, and she knows, so it doesn't hurt
And in her mind she pictures ODB, in his prison cell alone
It's not wrong to want to be alone, she would tell him so

With the curtains drawn and the stereo on
She swings her hips and dances to the Wu-Tang Clan
And the sadness ebbs away now
Shuts her eyes, throws her head up high
It's better when there's no one around
And she's feeling something real now

With the curtains drawn and the stereo on
She swings her hips and dances to the Wu-Tang Clan
And the sadness ebbs away now
Shuts her eyes, throws her head up high
It's better when there's no one around
And she's feeling something real now

And RZA, Ghostface Killah, Inspecta Deck and Golden Arms
Will hold her tight and out of harm in the council flat tonight
And the thought hits her at 105bpm
That sometimes for a second, she believes that everything will be
Alright
