THE HIGH LIFE.

Maybe if we’d known her better

She’d still be alive

But she kept herself too much to herself

Selling clothes in every size.

She was an actress at least so they said

She was so different with the life she led.

She lived the high life

She lived it on the edge

She took the chances and lost

And paid the ultimate cost.

My shop it faces into hers

This man came to call

My wife was working at the shop window

And so she saw it all.

Her light stayed on all night and all next day

And that next night I found her head blown away!

You never know what’s round the corner

And that’s as it is

Who would have known it and who’d have guessed it

How can you end up like this.

She was an actress at least so they said

She was so different with the life she led.
