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 hipster flares. As I on doors, And down one-way streets that led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever think it wouldn't forever? Did ya ever think that it would get this Did ya ever think that would get so crazy?
Now the chelsea store needs a fix, in a state of ill repair. And my cuban are hurting my feet, to add to my despair. La-di-dahs mini cars in the summertime. (in the summertime) Now towed away 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 ever the classes all would revert back to type? (did you think) Did you ever think the system really 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 alley way of hope, We thought found the motherload, But we were led like lambs to promise land, With all the debts we would owe. Once posed for tourist pictures in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content taking polaroids, they purchased all the property that they could find, And I've just mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya ever that this green and plesant land, (did ya think) Would end up in the bottom of some can, (did ya think) A full of promises and half-hearted plans. Oh, baby.
Did ya, did ya, did ya think? Did you ever (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 were really fab, (did ya think) That we'd be looking a dustbin for a dog-end to drag, (did ya think) And sleep on park benches wrapped in bags. Oh, baby.
Did ya ever think it would get this 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?
