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

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

Straight out of service,
Demob and short back and sides,
And saw the bomb sites turned shelters,
Where their lived all of their lives.
Then the nation built a utopia,
pebbledash on the outside, oh,
Look at them now, they've come a long way, they are affluent and with pride.
Soon we'll be sitting inside million-pound semi-detached,
Detached, in our semi-detached.
Looking 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 strangers again, together alone.
Look at us now, are we like,
Sitting alone in our semi-detached?

all taking early retirement, the sum total of all of their lives.
Now the country is fat with inflation, has helped us survive.
an englishman's home 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 owners of a semi-detached,
So in our million-pound semi-detached.
A new generation is buying and anew,
And learning by all their the way people do.
Like all the young hopefuls we're the future from you,
We hope one day we'll understand what 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?
