Boutique In My Backyard Lyrics

He looked gorgeous with his captive smile
Met him by the river, near the ICI
Wearing plastic rings, she had a feather cut
PVC not leather 'cos it costs too much

Left the smell of brillo in the flat as yellow
Caught a train to London. Met a boy from Clapham
Went to watch his band play. Wow! They're dressed in satin
When she said she loved him, she was only joking

Boutique in my backyard
Boutique in my backyard
Boutique in my backyard
I don't like to travel too far
Just me in my backyard
Got a rat to Belgium with this other guy
Saw her wings flutter; she flew a mile
Now she's modelling dresses for a name I can't pronounce
Goes on dinner dates with dukes and counts

Boutique in my backyard
Boutique in my backyard Boutique in my backyard
I don't like to travel too far
Just me in my backyard

I wish that you were beside me
I'm scared. I'm always hiding
I'd like to take that ride
But I know I'll stay inside
Just me in my backyard

Caught a plane to New York. She met Calvin Klein
Her body's on a poster as big as Times Square
And sometimes when I'm down I think I could have been there
But I'm in my backyard drinking warm beer

Boutique in my backyard
Boutique in my backyard
Boutique in my backyard
I don't like to travel too far
Just me in my backyard
I don't like to travel too far
I'd like to take that ride
But I know I'll stay inside
