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

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

Straight out of service,
suits and short back and sides,
And saw the bomb turned air-raid shelters,
Where their lived all of their lives.
Then the built them a utopia,
pebbledash on the outside, oh,
Look at them now, they've come a long way, they are and bursting with pride.
Soon we'll be sitting that million-pound semi-detached,
Detached, in our semi-detached.
back at the past 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.
the kids both grew up and got married and moved out of home,
Then we were strangers again, alone.
at us now, what are we like,
Sitting alone in our semi-detached?

They're all taking retirement, the sum total of all of their lives.
Now the is fat with inflation, immigration has helped us survive.
an englishman's home was his castle,
Now it's a 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 in our million-pound semi-detached.
A new is buying and starting anew,
And by all their mistakes the way people do.
all the young hopefuls we're buying the future from you,
We hope that one day we'll understand what you've 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 million-pound
