Lyrics:

People just ain't no good
I think that's well understood
You can see it everywhere you look
People just ain't no good

We were married under cherry trees

Under blossom we made our vows

All the blossoms come sailing down

Through the streets and through the playgrounds

The sun would stream on the sheets

Woken by the morning bird

We'd buy the Sunday newspapers

And never read a single word

People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good

Seasons came, seasons went

The winter stripped, the blossoms bare

A different tree now lines the streets
Shaking it's fists in the air

The winter slammed us like a fist

The windows rattling in the gales
To which she drew the curtains
Made out of her wedding veils

People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good at all

To our love send a dozen white lilies
To our love send a coffin of wood
To our love let all the pink-eyed pigeons coo
That people they just ain't no good
To our love send back all the letters
To our love a valentine of blood
To our love let all the jilted lovers cry
That people they just ain't no good

It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They can comfort you, some even try

They nurse you when you're ill of health

They bury you when you go and die

It ain't that in their hearts they're bad

They'll stick by you if they could

Ah, but that's just bullshit, baby
People just ain't no good

People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good, at all

People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good, at all
