Went for a down 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 walked one-way streets that led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever think it wouldn't forever? Did ya ever think that it would get bad? Did ya think that everything would get so crazy?
Now the chelsea store needs a fix, It's in a of ill repair. And my heels are hurting my feet, to add to my despair. La-di-dahs drove cars in the summertime. (in the summertime) Now towed away for parking on a double yellow line, And they pay the fine. (did you think) Did you ever think we'd all believe the (did you think) Did you ever think the classes all would revert to type? (did you think) Did you ever think the system really got it right? Oh, baby.
They filled us full of illusions and promiscuity, And they led us down that class-less to mediocrity. As we walked down that way of hope, We we'd found the motherload, But we were led like 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 purchased all the property that could find, And I've just mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya ever think that this green and land, (did ya think) Would end up in the bottom of some can, (did ya think) A dustbin of promises and half-hearted plans. Oh, baby.
Did ya, did ya, did ya ever Did you ever (in the summertime)
Now miseries and groaners moan and reminisce about the good old and whine, whine, whine. (did ya think) Did ya think when things were really fab, (did ya think) That we'd be looking through a for a dog-end to drag, (did ya think) And on park benches wrapped 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 we would pay the price for being lazy?
