about

A homeless alcoholic sits on the street, off in her former world of parties, caviar and champagne

lyrics

She talks about life, and everyone just passes by
With her cask of wine, she settles in for the night

Though she can hardly string two words together
She seems to make perfect sense nevertheless
Spitting philosophy upon the pavement
Mary’s gone out to lunch

She packs up her life, scattered possessions she finds
Stuffed into her cart, wrapped up in tissue

There’s a nice awning just round the corner
No-one has been there for three days or more
There’s some protection and the address is good
One must keep up with the Jones

Mary, Mary, how do your days and nights go
Mary, Mary, with your bells and bangles

She could use a bath, but that’s a little bit hard
She says with a laugh, it’s only skin deep, my son

Teary eyed, teary eyed, she sways from side to side
Warm and anaesthetized singing her songs
Oh for the grand days of caviar and champagne
When we went out to lunch

Outro chorus
When we went out to lunch.
When we went out to lunch.
Mary’s gone out to lunch
