Went for a down the old king's road, To see if was there. But there was home at 3 bywater street, And they had cadogan square. And I remember in my tie dye sweater, And my corduroy flares. As I on doors, And down one-way streets that led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever think it wouldn't last Did ya think that it would get this bad? Did ya ever think that would get so crazy?
Now the chelsea drug store a fix, in a state of ill repair. And my heels are hurting my feet, to add to my despair. La-di-dahs drove mini in the summertime. (in the summertime) Now they're towed away for parking on a yellow line, And they pay the fine. (did you think) Did you think we'd all believe the hype? (did you think) Did you ever think the all would revert back to type? (did you think) Did you ever think the system ever got it right? Oh, baby.
They filled us full of false and promiscuity, And they led us down class-less road to mediocrity. As we walked down that way of hope, We thought we'd the motherload, But we were led lambs to that promise land, all the debts that we would owe. Once trendies posed for tourist in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content with taking polaroids, they purchased all the property they could find, And just sold mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya think that this green and plesant land, (did ya think) Would end up in the of some garbage can, (did ya think) A dustbin full of and half-hearted plans. Oh, baby.
Did ya, did ya, did ya ever Did you think? (in the summertime)
Now and groaners moan and reminisce about the good old times and whine, whine, whine. (did ya think) Did ya ever think when things were fab, (did ya think) we'd be looking through a dustbin for a dog-end to drag, (did ya think) And sleep on park benches in plastic bags. Oh, baby.
Did ya ever think that it would get crazy? (did ya think) Did ya ever think that it would get way? (did ya think) Did ya ever think that we pay the price for being lazy?
