He looks gorgeous with his captive smile
Met him by the river, near the ICI
Wearing plastic rings
She had a feather cut
P.V.C not leather
Because it costs too much

Left a smell of Brillo and the flat was yellow
Caught a train to London
Met a boy from Clapham
Went to watch his band play
Wow he's dressed in satin
When she said she loved him
She was only joking

Boutique in my backyard
Boutique in my backyard
Boutique in my backyard
I don't like to travel too far
Just me in my backyard

Got a ride to Belgium with this other guy
Saw her wings flutter par She flew on by
Now she's modelling dresses
For a name I can't pronounce
Goes on dinner dates
With Dukes and Counts

Boutique in my backyard
Boutique in my backyard
Boutique in my backyard
I don't like to travel too far
Just me in my backyard

I wish that you were beside me
I'm scared, and always have been
I'd love to take that ride
But I know I'll stay inside
Just me in my backyard

Caught a plane to New York
She met Calvin Klein
Her body's on a poster
As big as Times Square
Sometimes when I'm down
I think I could have been there
But I'm in my backyard
Drinking warm beer

Boutique in my backyard
Boutique in my backyard
Boutique in my backyard
I don't like to travel too far
Just me in my backyard
I don't like to travel too far

I'd love to take that ride
But I know I'll stay inside
