The Beautiful South - They Used To Wear Black lyrics

(Heaton / Rotheray)

Always alone when thinking hard

Always alone when after dark

I used to wear black

I used to wear black all the time

I used to wear black

I used to wear black all the time

Celebrating my result

With my fine fish-fingered friends

Chorus:

They used to wear black

They used to wear black all the time

They used to wear black

They used to wear black all the time

Watch their faces as Bowie dies

No dogs knees could look that sad

Chorus

No Geoffrey, no Hubert

No Geoffrey, no Hubert

Gold diggers nightmare come true

Eat you up, eat you up

Spit you out, Spit you out

Get up and dance and make your feet speak

Just rock the room from side to side

Just look at the company I keep
