Went for a walk the old king's road, To see if was there. But there was home at 3 bywater street, And had sold 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 ever think that it get this bad? Did ya ever think everything would get so crazy?
Now the chelsea drug needs a fix, in a state of ill repair. And my cuban heels are my feet, to add to my despair. La-di-dahs mini cars in the summertime. (in the summertime) Now they're towed away for parking on a double line, And they pay the fine. (did you think) Did you ever we'd all believe the hype? (did you think) Did you ever think the classes all revert back to type? (did you think) Did you ever think the system ever got it right? Oh, baby.
filled us full of false illusions and promiscuity, And they led us down that road to mediocrity. As we walked down alley way of hope, We thought we'd the motherload, But we were led like lambs to that land, With all the debts we would owe. Once posed for tourist pictures in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content with taking polaroids, they purchased all the property that they find, And I've just mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya ever think that this and plesant land, (did ya think) end up in the bottom of some garbage can, (did ya think) A dustbin of promises and half-hearted plans. Oh, baby.
Did ya, did ya, did ya think? 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 think when things were really fab, (did ya think) That we'd be 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 it would get this crazy? (did ya think) Did ya ever that it would get this way? (did ya think) Did ya ever think we would pay the price for being lazy?
