Widows and Orphans by The Granite Shore Lyrics

[Verse 1a]
So this is what it’s come to;
And here we are again
Older, maybe wiser, but still vain

[Verse 1b]
It’s a nicer class of room, though;
The walls are all off-white
No rotting rugs or mattresses in sight

[Chorus 1]
However many zeroes, I don’t care
Let the widows and the orphans have my share

[Verse 2a]
We aimed to build a new world
Through the medium of sound;
If only we could put it back the way we found it

[Verse 2b]
I know you’ve got your reasons
Though no-one’s buying mine;
For heaven’s sake, just show me where to sign
[Chorus 2]
However many zeroes, I don’t care
Let the widows and the orphans have my share

[Chorus 3]
However many zeroes does it take?
For we left widows, yes, and orphans in our wake
So add another one now, it’s all fine
You take yours, the widows can have mine
What do you want me to sign?
