SUSAN 


Susan finished school at 16 wants to be a secretary 
2 years later she's got nowhere ends up in a factory 
Making matches it's so boring she gets sad and so depressed 
Hears her doctor smugly tell her "Take these pills and get some rest" 
But she takes it one step further parents rescue her in time 
Smile and tell her "when you're married everything will be just fine" 
She recovers and gets married further shuts the closing door 
Though he says "i really love you" she feels worse off than before 
9 months later she's a mother it's a bouncing baby boy 
"Oh how super!" say her parents but for her there is no joy 
Words like mummy don't mean nothing it's all she hears from 9 to 5 
All alone at number 19 every single day she dies 
19 years of hollow clichés now she wants to end it all 
Bored to death from doing nothing family drives her up the wall 
Swinging susan hanged herself she couldn't live her pointless life 
He comes home to see through tears the rigid corpse that was his wife 
The life and times of susan strange ended in that tragic way 
With the money from insurance the family went on holiday 
Nothing left but rotting flowers on an unattended grave 
The epitaph has faded badly no-one reads it anyway
