She'd like to live her life in a day-dream
'Cause there is no love on the dole
Others feel the weight of history
Bought before they're sold
Why have all her friends become housewives
Acting on remote control
She'd love to stay free
She'd love to stay free
Absolutely!
She'll stay free
The things she does just for money...
What a drag it is being broke
She'd like to stay in bed forever
But it wouldn't even pay for the rope
You can't but stare at her baby
With her eyes of Sellafield green
She'd love to stay free
She'd love to stay free
I walk with a guilty conscience
Work seems alien
And they're a fickle bunch, the government... at best
Always attacking imagination
Like it's some kind of joke
So for the time being she'll stay free... on a tightrope
Love, love, love, love, love
To stay free
She'd love, love, love, love, love
To stay free
She'd love to stay free
She'd love to stay free
She'd love to stay free
She'd love to stay free
Absolutely!
(She'll stay free)
Economically
(She'll stay free)
...maybe...
(She'll stay free)
If nothing else she'll stay free
