Roches - My Winter Coat Lyrics

Font:

Align:

The fit is generous and loose

The coat is filled with down of goose

Should I feel guilty about that?

I wouldnt wear the fur of a cat

The coat is black so in new york city

It doesnt look dirty it stays pretty

The cuffs are purple which perfectly suits

A pair I already had of boots

Cant help sharing on a personal note

A secret I have concerning the coat

One of the reasons that it got my vote

Is the way it lies open around the throat

For me th collar mustnt come too high

Because well all right my skin is dry

So each morning I rub my face with oil

And the fabric you see the grease could soil

Can we speak a moment about the lining

After my own hearts designing

Its nylon so your skirts dont wind

Up in a bunch around you behind

When the time comes for the coat to clean

You throw this thing in the washing machine

Drying you doubt but the filling does fluff

Im here to proclaim this coat is enough

The length of the coat is below the knees

So in the cold your legs dont freeze

Im nuts about another one of its charms

Theres plenty of room underneath the arms

The coats not bulky it weighs about an ounce

And its practically void of any frivolous flounce

I will admit it has shoulder pads

All things considered its not so bad

It looks all right even from the side

I guess because the bottom isnt overly wide

Okay so you say youd prefer something hipper

But can I just tell you about the zipper

I searched for it for many years

Last one I had I tore up in tears

It turned me into jack the ripper

But now I stepped in cinderellas slipper

It runs from the gullet to just south of the crotch

And workin its a task you can hardly botch

Its made of a material that will not rust

It wont get stuck you dont get fussed

It undoes easily in the usual way

But you can also pull it up if youd like to, lets say

Theres snaps as well which I dont even use

But they beat out buttons if I had to choose

I remember the night I went to the store

Fighting my way across the cloak-stuffed floor

Suffocating I was it seemed

When from a rack this last hope beamed

Of all my requirements I pursued the trail

To find furthermore the damn thing was on sale

It had a small chain at the back of the neck

So you could hang it on a hook but it broke what the heck

With the end of each sleeve Im totally smitten

Ample space for to emerge a thick mitten

If you wanna be warm it wins far and away

Its like walkin around in your bed all day

I know youre not supposed to be so fond of a thing

But today this is my heartfelt inspiration to sing

I hope you dont think Im merely trying to be clever

I wish this coat would last forever
