The lyrics
It’s wrong to wish on space hardwareand He always beat me at Subutteo /
Cos he flicked a kick and I didn’t know, and Pitsea, Thundersley, Hadleigh, Leigh-on-sea,
Chalkwell, Prittlewell,
Southend’s the end of youThey smelled of pubs and Wormwood Scrubbs /
And too many right wing meetingsTake control of the population boom /
It’s in your living room /
Keep a generation gap /
Try wearing a capHow can it be that we can say so much without words? /
Bless you and bless me, bless the bees and the birdsand It’s a good thing you don’t have bus fares /
They would fall through a hole in your pocket /
And you’d lose them when there’s snow on the groundI have every comfort and every sport /
And my residence is at Hampton CourtNow I lay me down to sleep /
I hear the sirens in the street /
All the dreams are made of chrome /
I have no way to get back homeThere are people going to the stratosphere /
Soldiers fighting with the CongThere’s brown bread, white bread, all sorts of wholemeal bread /
It comes in funny packages with writing on the sidehas half the answer, but named the band - My monster in black tights /
You’re everything a freak like I likes Mother! I can never come home again, because I seem to have left an
important part of my brain somewhere in a field in Hampshire, and The question doesn’t matter /
The answer’s always “aye” /
The best view of all /
Is where the land meets the skyGet a taste for home taping /
Fetishists of map-makingEverybody wants a box of chocolates and a long-stemmed roseand I wish today could be tomorrow /
The night is dark, it just brings sorrow anywayThe juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot /
A little drop of claret – anything that rocksUnderfoot the ground is patched /
With climbing arms of ivy wrapped /
Around the manzanita stark and shiny in the breezeFrom your ankle up I’d say you sure you are sweet /
From that down there’s just too much feetBlack car drives through the town /
Some guy from the top estate /
Left a note for a local girl /
And yet he had it all on a plateLong distance information, get me Jesus on the line /
I need communion, confirmation, absolution for my crimeFive years ago, I was a four stone apology /
Today, I am two separate gorillasLet me hear your balalaikas ringing out /
Come and keep your comrade warmand Voyez /
Ces oiseaux blancs /
Et ces maisons rouillees
