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,
The Milk Bottle Symphony
Milk Bottle Symphony
Number Twelve, there's Amy Chan
Writing down a line for the CandyMan,
About the time she saw Tom Baker,
Drinking down the Hat and Fan
The man next door is Gary Stead
Shuffles downstairs with heavy head,
Scans the paper, takes a pill,
And stumbles back to bed
La la la la la la
Didn't get home till 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 cornflakes on the sofa,
Says good-bye to Mom
La la la la la la
Jumps on the Forty-Three,
Humming unconsciously,
A Milk Bottle Symphony
Milk Bottle Symphony
