Dry Cleaning – Hot Penny Day Lyrics

Hot Penny Day Lyrics by Dry Cleaning

The song’s name makes reference to a rather odd tradition in Honiton, East Devon, in which warm pennies are thrown at people.
From DevonLive:

This yearly ceremony takes place on the first Tuesday after July 19 [in] Honiton, at 12 noon.

The original celebrations involved the wealthy residents of Honiton throwing hot coins to peasants on the street below and enjoying watching them burn their fingers while trying to collect the change.

In keeping with the tradition, every July the residents of Honiton take part in a similar celebration, throwing warm – not hot – coins into crowds of children below.

If I could live across the road from a boot fair
Wouldn’t that be something?
If I’m thin as a bean pole, I can slip through the fence

I’m not here to provide blank
They can fucking provide blank
Our relationship
Well, it’s not what you think it is

Hot penny day
Hooked over man
Woollen woman
I don’t want to empty your bank account
And give you nightmares, but

I guess I don’t ever ask for what I want
I see male violence everywhere
Beautiful face, softness
I think “big soft bed club”

Hazmat suit yeah
Health first
Are these еxposed wires all good?
Near thе steam?

Hooked over man
Woollen woman
I don’t want to empty your bank account and give you nightmares
But we’re in the middle of what they call three “financial eclipses”
Is it still okay to call you my disco pickle?

To recognise a smile try thinking of a
A chameleon or a Pac-Man
What’s her name over there says
“Don’t forget to bring back the blue sheet”
Can’t you see I’m trying?
I was having a good time and I didn’t go to bed

It’s hot penny day
It’s a spook out
I’m not here to provide blank
They can make their own blank

Can’t you see I’m trying?
Can’t you see my bloodshot eyes?
Bad taste bear
Horse head tea
Every day
I’ve been to the top of a mountain
There’s fire there
Every single day
Kick drum
Sometimes I feel like I’m just a loner and that’s that
Stiff undergarment
