She is standing at the busstop down the High street
A broken shopping trolley at her feeeeeet
She is calling to her kids but they're not listening
They are dancing round and round in the Thurnscoe rain

She is wond'ring where the two two six has got to
An empty Coal Board wagon soaks her through
As if all the years of giving without taking
were culminating in the Thurnscoe rain

Our Elaine, our Elaine
nothing lasts forever, our Elaine
Our Elaine, our Elaine
nothing lasts forever, our Elaine

She is sick of feighning pleasure at the busstop
Sick of bargainqueues and cheapo shooops
She is sick of penny pinching on the giro
And who can blame her in the Thurnscoe rain

Till the anger like a blister bursts inside her
Winter rants and rages down the Dearne
Tomorrow like a secondhand shop window
Dissolving in an endless Thurnscoe rain

Our Elaine, our Elaine
nothing lasts forever, our Elaine
Our Elaine, our Elaine
nothing lasts forever, our Elaine

Once upon a young dream
she wore summers in het hair
Lover's arms were all that she'd need
Circling the square
Summers in her hair

Our Elaine, our Elaine
nothing lasts forever, our Elaine
Our Elaine, our Elaine
nothing lasts forever, our Elaine
nothing lasts forever, our Elaine
nothing lasts forever, our Elaine
nothing lasts forever, our Elaine
