This cautionary tale explores the lives of 3 women living in the shadow of 20 Fenchurch Street. Thanks to Chris and Katrina for having to listen to so many band practices and still showing up to shows. Also the chords are E, G#, A, D.

lyrics

I saw a girl in a pastry shop she said
"Watch out! The concrete, the concrete's still hot!
That building outside is melting our town"
I saw a girl on a bus today she said
"Do you ever do you ever do you ever pray?"
I said "No sweetie I don't roll that way cause I'm...
Cause I'm gay!"
I saw the girl in the pastry shop again
I got a feeling that we're gonna be best friends
I loved the way her hands move over the dough... oh... so... slow...
I looked at her, she looked at me and smiled
It's like her eyes were asking "Can we hang out for a while?"
But I would never hit on someone while they were at work
Cause I'm not a jerk!

I walk where I work, and I work on this street
And I hate that the concrete is melting my feet
They say that they'll fix it, to just wait and see
But what the fuck! Honestly!
The bus girl had a pamphlet for me it said
Can I be Christian and LGBT
I said thanks?
Uh....
Ok

I told my bus friend about the pastry shop.
I said "It seems like you just really want to sit and talk"
And so she got off at my usual stop
We ordered doughnuts and pastry girl sat down
She asked the bus girl "How ya like this part of town?"
And neither of them mentioned the eye of Satan glaring at us from the window!
I'll shorten up my story
They really hit it off
And now they live together in a little walk-up
The pastry shop has a gay bible study Friday nights
And all my favorite shoes got ruined in the sunlight!
And all my favorite shoes, and all my favorite shoes
And all my favorite shoes got ruined in the sunlight!
