Went for a walk the old king's road, To see if was there. But there was nobody home at 3 street, And had sold cadogan square. And I remember in my tie dye sweater, And my corduroy flares. As I on doors, And walked down one-way streets led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever think it wouldn't forever? Did ya ever think that it would get bad? Did ya think that everything would get so crazy?
Now the drug store needs a fix, It's in a of ill repair. And my heels are hurting my feet, to add to my despair. La-di-dahs drove cars in the summertime. (in the summertime) Now they're towed away for on a double yellow line, And they pay the fine. (did you think) Did you ever think we'd all the hype? (did you think) Did you ever the classes all would revert back to type? (did you think) Did you ever think the system really got it right? Oh, baby.
They filled us of false illusions and promiscuity, And they led us down that class-less to mediocrity. As we walked that alley way of hope, We we'd found the motherload, But we were led like to that promise land, With all the that we would owe. Once trendies for tourist pictures in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content with taking polaroids, they purchased all the property that could find, And I've sold mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya ever think that green and plesant land, (did ya think) Would end up in the of some garbage can, (did ya think) A dustbin full of and half-hearted plans. Oh, baby.
Did ya, did ya, did ya ever Did you ever (in the summertime)
Now miseries and groaners moan and reminisce the good old times and whine, whine, whine. (did ya think) Did ya ever when things were really fab, (did ya think) we'd be looking through a dustbin for a dog-end to drag, (did ya think) And sleep on park benches wrapped in bags. Oh, baby.
Did ya ever think it would get this crazy? (did ya think) Did ya ever think it would get this way? (did ya think) Did ya ever think that we would pay the price for lazy?
