lyrics

Everyday I take a bus to the Evacuation Centre
Wear my top hat, twirl my cane, greet dispossessed there
The finest threads distinguish me from drab ‘n’ ordinary
Money is a grubby business but leisure is my calling

Pre-Chorus
I’m a dandy at the end of the world x 2

Ready for the water rations, my bucket has pride of place
It’s simple and it’s elegant, I fetch it home with grace
Stockin well up on cosmetics, prepare f supplies to finish
I parade in front of ruffians and blow the soldiers kisses

CHORUS
I’m a dandy at the end of the world
I was born to play this part
I’d be seen dead nowhere else
I’m a superhero dressed for the part

Come on down to the epicenter the aftershock‘s settled
M’ sweet scent wafts right thro for volunteers assembled
I have no status or profession, trust me I believe in nothing
There’s always beauty to be found, especially in destruction

CHORUS
