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

Haven't we come a way
From newly-weds in our flat?
We skimped and every penny
For a payment on our semi-detached.
New towns for all the hopefuls,
A garden suburb with attached,
Oh, at us now, sale all agreed, now it's time to exchange the contracts
With the people who us a million-pound semi.

Straight out of service,
Demob and short back and sides,
And saw the bomb turned air-raid shelters,
Where their families all of their lives.
Then the built them a utopia,
pebbledash on the outside, oh,
Look at them now, they've a long way, they are affluent and bursting with pride.
Soon we'll be inside that million-pound semi-detached,
Detached, in our semi-detached.
back at the past of this million-pound semi.

Two up two down, a garden, that was the dream,
Two kids, a cat and a dog, was the scheme.
Then the kids both up and got married and moved out of home,
Then we were again, together alone.
at us now, what are we like,
Sitting alone in our million-pound

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