Rubber Ring / What She Said (Live in London, 1986) [Medley] Lyrics

[Part I: Rubber ring]

Yeah!

[Part II: What She Said]

[Verse 1]
What she says
"How come someone hasn't noticed that I'm dead
And decided to bury me? God knows, I'm ready"
La-la-da-di-da-da-da

[Verse 2]
What she said was sad
But then, all the rejection she's had
To pretend to be happy could only be idiocy
La-la-da-di-da-da-da

[Chorus]
What she said was not for the job or
Lover that she never had
No, no, no, no, no

[Verse 3]
What she read
All heady books she'd sit and prophesize
It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead
To really, really open her eyes
What she read
All heady books she'd sit and prophesize
It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead
To really, really open her eyes
[Chorus]
What she said
"I smoke because I'm hoping for an early death
And I need to cling to something"
What she said
"I smoke because I'm hoping for an early death
And I need to cling to something"
No, no, no, no, no

[Outro]
La dum
La, dum
La dum, la dum, la dum, da-dum
La dum, la dum, la dum, da-dum
La dum
La, dum
La dum, la dum, la da-dum
La dum, la dum, la da-dum
La dum
La, dum
Rubber ring, rubber ring
La dum, la dum, la da-dum
La dum, la dum, la da-dum
La dum, la dum, la da-day
La dum, la dum, la da-day
La dum, la dum, la da-dum
La dum, la dum, la da-dum
La dum, la dum, la da-day
La dum, la dum, la da-day
La dum, la dum, la da-dum
La dum, la dum, la da-dum
La dum, la dum, la da-dum
La dum, la dum, la da-dum

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
