Lyrics

Cindy Tells Me

[Intro]

Woo-oo-o-ooh

Woo-oo-o-ooh

Woo-oo-o-ooh

Woo-oo-o-ooh

[Verse 1]

Cindy tells me, the rich girls are weeping (Woo-oo-o-ooh)

Cindy tells me, they've given up sleeping alone (Woo-oo-o-ooh)

And now, they're so confused (Woo-oo-o-ooh)

By their new freedoms (Woo-oo-o-ooh)

[Verse 2]

And she tells me they're selling up their maisonettes (Woo-oo-o-ooh)

Left the Hotpoints to rust in the kitchenettes (Woo-oo-o-ooh)

And they're saving their labour (Woo-oo-o-ooh)

For insane reading (Woo-oo-o-ooh)

[Chorus]

Some of them lose and some of them loose

But that's what they want and that's what they choose

It's a burden, such a burden

Oh, what a burden to be so relied on

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Some of them lose and some of them loose

But that's what they want and that's what they choose

It's a burden, such a burden, ooooh!

Oh, what a burden to be so relied on

Aaa-aa-a-aah

Aaa-aa-a-aah

Aaa-aa-a-aah

Aaa-aa-a-aah

[Verse 2]

Cindy tell me, what will they do with their lives? (Aaa-aa-a-aah)

Living quietly like labourer's wives (Aaa-aa-a-aah)

Perhaps they'll re-acquire those things (Aaa-aa-a-aah)

They've all disposed of (Aaa-aa-a-aah)
