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

Haven't we come a way
From newly-weds in our bed-sitter
We skimped and every penny
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
the people who sold us a million-pound semi.

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

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 strangers again, alone.
Look at us now, are we like,
Sitting in our million-pound semi-detached?

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