Saint Etienne - Milk Bottle Symphony lyrics

Tony leaves the depot late Seventeen years with the Unigate Drives his float down Goswell Road at twenty-five to eight Number nine, Mrs. Doris Brown Pulls on her quilted dressing gown Shuts the fridge and boils the kettle Wipes the table down La la la la la la Just as she pours the tea She's whistling randomly A milk bottle symphony Milk bottle symphony Number twelve, there's Amy Chan Writing down a line for the candy man About the time she saw Tom Baker Drinking down the Hat and Fan The man next door is Gary Stead Shuffles downstairs with a heavy head Scans the paper, takes a pill And stumbles back to bed La la la la la la Didn't get home 'til three Singing appallingly A milk bottle symphony A milk bottle symphony Emily Roe's at thirty-one Twenty minutes left to get her homework done Leaves her corn flakes on the sofa Says goodbye to Mum La la la la la la Jumps on the 43 Humming unconsciously A milk bottle symphony Milk bottle symphony
