pack up your bows and bracelets,
go now and leave me in peace.
i'm not the one to help you
to satisfy your needs.
i know your kind - it's ten a penny,
always on the make / never quite off the latch,
making out like you're nobody's baby
well, i'm no fool for that act.
she was a part-time jewellery maker,
just an old-time glory seeker
she was a part-time jewellery maker
and i said i'd no time to waste on me and her.
talking all day and night
about your aspirations,
your favourite stations,
and the artistic light
while the gas-taps all sit back and listen -
you know, i've never seen them act so polite!
say, why don't you take your wired protestations
and sing them out to the street,
cos i'm not the one
i'm not the one
who could give you what you need.
she was a part-time jewellery maker,
just an old-time glory seeker
she was a part-time jewellery maker
and i said i'd no time to waste on me and her.
