Luyện nghe bài hát The Million - Pound - Semi - Detached

Haven't we a long way
From in our bed-sitter flat?
We skimped and scraped every
For a down on our semi-detached.
New for all the young hopefuls,
A garden suburb mortgage attached,
Oh, look at us now, sale all agreed, now time to exchange the contracts
the people who sold us a million-pound semi.

Straight out of service,
suits and short back and sides,
And saw the sites turned air-raid shelters,
Where their lived all of their lives.
the nation built them a utopia,
With on the outside, oh,
Look at them now, they've come a long way, are affluent and bursting with pride.
Soon we'll be sitting that million-pound semi-detached,
Detached, in our semi-detached.
Looking back at the of this million-pound semi.

Two up two down, a back garden, was the dream,
Two kids, a cat and a dog, was the scheme.
Then the kids both grew up and got and moved out of home,
we were strangers again, together alone.
Look at us now, are we like,
Sitting in our million-pound semi-detached?

They're all taking early retirement, the sum total of all of lives.
Now the country is fat inflation, immigration has helped us survive.
Once an englishman's was his castle,
Now it's a freehold to buy, oh,
at us now, our debts are all paid, and the empire has really struck back.
We're the proud of a one-million-pound semi-detached,
So in our million-pound semi-detached.
A new generation is buying and anew,
And by all their mistakes the way people do.
Like all the hopefuls we're buying the future from you,
We hope that one day we'll understand what you've both through.
at us now, what are we like,
Sitting alone, in our semi-detached?
Look at us now, are we like,
Sitting alone, in our semi-detached?
