Who'd look at that dump and see a home?
Why not move in somewhere easy?
Urinals where bedrooms ought to be
Who could be bothered, really?

You're really good at all that stuff
The nuts and bolts of living
Curtains, blinds and kitchen tables

I've got no time for dates and plans
No I'm too busy dreaming
You're the one with the attention span
You're not the free-wheeler

Practical, practical 
Amanda
Saved one life
And made two others
Practical Amanda

Who'd look in your room
And see someone
That might be
Worth redeeming
Head and heart
And soul fucked up
Who could be bothered, really? 

I've got no time for dates and plans
No I'm too busy dreaming
You're the one with the attention span
Practical Amanda 

Practical, practical
Amanda 
Saved one life
And made two others
Practical Amanda
