Royal XTC Dirty Impact Lyrics

I am sitting In the morning
The singer is sitting in a diner in the morning

At the diner On the corner
The diner is located on a street corner

I am waiting At the counter
The singer is waiting at the counter to place their order

For the man To pour the coffee
The artist is waiting for the waiter to pour their coffee

And he fills it Only halfway
The waiter only fills the coffee cup halfway

And before I even argue
The singer doesn't even have a chance to complain

He is looking Out the window
The waiter is distracted, looking out the window

At somebody Coming in
He sees someone entering the diner

"It is always Nice to see you"
He greets the person who just walked in

Says the man Behind the counter
The man behind the counter is the one greeting

To the woman Who has come in
The person he greeted is a woman

She is shaking Her umbrella
The woman is shaking her umbrella to dry it

And I look The other way
The singer looks the other way to give privacy to the couple

As they are kissing Their hellos
The two people greeted each other with a kiss

I open Up the paper
The singer opens up a newspaper

There's a story Of an actor
One of the stories in the paper is about an actor

Who had died While he was drinking
The actor died while drinking something

It was no one I had heard of
The singer did not recognize the actor's name

And I'm turning To the horoscope
The singer turns to the horoscope section of the newspaper

And looking For the funnies
The artist is also looking for the comics

When I'm feeling Someone watching me
The artist feels like someone is watching them

And so I raise my head
The artist looks up to see who is watching them

There's a woman On the outside
A woman is outside looking in through the window

Looking inside Does she see me?
The woman is looking inside the diner, but the artist is unsure if she sees them

No she does not Really see me
The woman does not see the singer, but rather her own reflection

Cause she sees Her own reflection
The woman sees her own reflection in the window

And I'm trying Not to notice
The singer is trying not to pay attention to the woman outside

That she's hitching Up her skirt
The woman outside is adjusting her skirt

And while she's Straightening her stockings
The woman is also straightening her stockings

Her hair Is getting wet
The woman's hair is getting wet, likely due to the rain
