Went for a down the old king's road, To see if was there. But there was nobody at 3 bywater street, And they had cadogan square. And I remember in my tie dye sweater, And my hipster flares. As I on doors, And walked down streets that led nowhere.
Ah, did ya think it wouldn't last forever? Did ya ever think that it would get bad? Did ya ever think that would get so crazy?
Now the chelsea store needs a fix, in a state of ill repair. And my cuban are hurting my feet, to add to my despair. La-di-dahs drove cars in the summertime. (in the summertime) Now towed away for parking on a double yellow line, And they pay the fine. (did you think) Did you think we'd all believe the hype? (did you think) Did you ever think the all would revert back to type? (did you think) Did you ever think the ever really got it right? Oh, baby.
They filled us full of illusions and promiscuity, And they led us down that road to mediocrity. As we walked down that way of hope, We thought found the motherload, But we were led lambs to that promise land, With all the debts we would owe. Once trendies posed for tourist in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content with taking polaroids, purchased all the property that they could find, And I've just mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya think that this green and plesant land, (did ya think) end up in the bottom of some garbage can, (did ya think) A dustbin of promises 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 about the good old and whine, whine, whine. (did ya think) Did ya ever think 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 in plastic bags. Oh, baby.
Did ya ever think that it would get this (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?
