Went for a walk down the old road, To see if was there. But was nobody home at 3 bywater street, And had sold cadogan square. And I myself in my tie dye sweater, And my hipster flares. As I on doors, And down one-way streets that led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever it wouldn't last forever? Did ya ever that it would get this bad? Did ya think that everything would get so crazy?
Now the chelsea drug needs a fix, It's in a of ill repair. And my cuban are hurting my feet, to add to my despair. La-di-dahs drove mini in the summertime. (in the summertime) Now they're towed for parking on a double yellow line, And can't pay the fine. (did you think) Did you ever think we'd all the hype? (did you think) Did you think the classes all would revert back to type? (did you think) Did you think the system ever really got it right? Oh, baby.
They filled us of false illusions and promiscuity, And they led us down that road to mediocrity. As we down that alley way of hope, We we'd found the motherload, But we were led lambs to that promise land, all the debts that we would owe. Once trendies for tourist pictures in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content with taking polaroids, they all the property that they could find, And I've sold mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya ever think this green and plesant land, (did ya think) Would end up in the bottom of garbage can, (did ya think) A full of promises and half-hearted plans. Oh, baby.
Did ya, did ya, did ya think? Did you think? (in the summertime)
Now miseries and groaners moan and reminisce the good old times and whine, whine, whine. (did ya think) Did ya ever think when things were fab, (did ya think) That we'd be looking a dustbin for a dog-end to drag, (did ya think) And sleep on benches wrapped in plastic bags. Oh, baby.
Did ya ever think that it would get crazy? (did ya think) Did ya ever that it would get this way? (did ya think) Did ya ever think that we pay the price for being lazy?
