lyrics

Fix the holes in your clothes
so the cracks won't show you up
sell your flowers and your fun
and your future son
cos there's work to be done
you've got to put
your soul to the grindstone

I want to stay here
in the places we used to play
not so long ago

Well the wise men say
you've got to work all you can
saving up for your family plan
for a rainy day that never comes
wish your life away
for two weeks holiday
stare at the grey
and dream of sunnier climes

I want to take my
gooing to make my
dreams of happier times

Opiates and sequinned dancers
were watching rat races
running round the millitary parade
turn turn turn your face away
