He had a stroke at the age of 24 
It could have been a brilliant career 
Painting lines in a school that was too well known 
Painting lines with a friend that had gone before 

She challenged everyone to a fight 
But the prefects all backed down 
And they ran her out of town 
Cause she drank and swore and spoke 

Out of turn, she was the village joke 
She had a stroke at the age of 24 
It could have been a brilliant career 
Getting clients to finance her strategies 

Filling time in on Safeways on Saturday 
She wears the clothes of an emperor 
But her paintings are a sham 
And they're going for a grand 

When the dealers come to view 
Do they ever see the real you? 
He had a stroke at the age of 24 
It could have been a brilliant career 

Selling lies to the boys with the old Dansettes 
Pulling the wool, playing the fool, it's no wonder that 
He is dribbling spit tonight 
And the one he sent away 

Was the only one who stayed 
With a spoon and a decent book 
And you can tell by the way she looks he is sorry and resigned 
As he wets himself for the final time
