Dry heat kills the air

Dry heat kills the air

In a vacuum of despair

Open the window to clear her head

She just wants to stay in bed

In her Cell she does her study

Nothing else to do…

Classical FM background noise

They'll spin a disc for you!

Down to her last50p

The Meter takes a Rest...

She's only got two  hours left

Before the powers dead!

Shower too Hot, Shower too Cold

She doesn't stop and think?

Only one thing on her mind

"Can't wait till I get Dressed!"

Flatmate sneaking up the stairs

Music much too loud

Moans and Groans behind the Wall

Boyfriend, Drinking, Making out!

Limited space in the fridge and cupboard

She needs to check her stock

Cupboard space so hard to find

A need... to keep it Locked!

The do's and Don'ts on the notice Board

A need to mark the boundaries

Commercial Utilities, the wait in line

Everyone wants in first

Avoid the dodgy wiring

Grab whatever's near to hand

Bed-sit life, is full of stress

"I need to get her out!"
