Susan

Susan Lyrics

Susan finished school at sixteen.
Wants to be a secretary.
Two years later she's got nowhere.
Ends up in a factory..
Making matches it's so boring
She gets sad and so depressed.
Hears her doctor smugly tell her
"Take these pills and get some rest."

But she takes it one step further.
Parents rescue her in time.
Smile and tell her "When you're married
Everything will be just fine."
She recovers and gets married further shuts the closing door
Though he says "I really love you"
She feels worse off than before.
Nine months later she's a mother.
It's a bouncing baby boy.

"Oh how super!" say her parents
But for her there is no joy
Words like "mummy" don't mean nothing.
It's all she hears from 9 to 5.
All alone at number 19.
Every single day she dies.
Nineteen years of hollow cliche
Now she wants to end it all.
Bored to death from doing nothing
Family drives her up the wall.

Swinging Susan hanged herself.
She couldn't live her pointless life.
He comes home to see through tears.
The rigid corpse that was his wife.
The life and times of Susan Strange
Ended in that tragic way.
With the money from insurance.
The family went on holiday.
Nothing left but rotting flowers
On an unattended grave.
The epitaph has faded badly
No one reads it anyway.
