[00:09.25]Went for a walk down the Old King's Road,
[00:12.70]To see if anybody was there.
[00:17.09]But there was nobody home at 3 Bywater Street,
[00:21.29]And they had sold Cadogan Square.
[00:25.63]And I remember myself in my tie dye sweater,
[00:30.35]And my hipster corduroy flares.
[00:34.48]As I knocked on doors,
[00:36.87]And walked down one-way streets that led nowhere.
[00:42.20]
[00:43.54]Ah, did ya ever think it wouldn't last forever?
[00:48.08]Did ya ever think that it would get this bad?
[00:52.37]Did ya ever think that everything would get so crazy?
[01:00.46]
[01:01.14]Now the Chelsea Drug Store needs a fix,
[01:05.12]It's in a state of ill repair.
[01:09.21]And my Cuban heels are hurting my feet,
[01:13.76]Just to add to my despair.
[01:18.63]La-di-dahs drove Mini cars in the summertime.
[01:24.68](In the summertime)
[01:26.49]Now they're towed away for parking on a double yellow line,
[01:33.20]And they can't pay the fine.
[01:35.17](Did you ever think)
[01:36.46]Did you ever think we'd all believe the hype?
[01:38.44](Did you ever think)
[01:39.92]Did you ever think the classes all would revert back to type?
[01:43.87](Did you ever think)
[01:44.69]Did you ever think the system ever really got it right?
[01:49.10]Oh, baby.
[01:52.70]
[01:57.99]They filled us full of false illusions and promiscuity,
[02:05.87]And they led us down that class-less road to mediocrity.
[02:14.36]As we walked down that alley way of hope,
[02:19.63]We thought we'd found the motherload,
[02:23.78]But we were led like lambs to that promise land,
[02:27.83]With all the debts that we would owe.
[02:31.42]Once trendies posed for tourist pictures in the summertime.
[02:39.13](In the summertime)
[02:40.47]Not content with taking Polaroids,
[02:43.33]they purchased all the property that they could find,
[02:47.50]And I've just sold mine. (Did you ever!)
[02:49.95]
[02:50.19]Did ya ever think that this green and plesant land,
[02:53.99](Did ya ever think)
[02:54.94]Would end up in the bottom of some garbage can,
[02:57.66](Did ya ever think)
[02:58.56]A dustbin full of promises and half-hearted plans.
[03:02.41]Oh, baby.
[03:05.99]
[03:13.64]Did ya, did ya, did ya ever think?
[03:22.52]Did you ever think?
[03:31.41](In the summertime)
[03:32.60]
[03:33.27]Now miseries and groaners moan and reminisce
[03:35.50]about the good old times and whine, whine, whine.
[03:40.60](Did ya ever think)
[03:41.35]Did ya ever think when things were really fab,
[03:45.33](Did ya ever think)
[03:46.33]That we'd be looking through a dustbin for a dog-end to drag,
[03:49.66](Did ya ever think)
[03:50.82]And sleep on park benches wrapped in plastic bags.
[03:53.38]Oh, baby.
[03:58.38]
[03:59.62]Did ya ever think that it would get this crazy?
[04:02.93](Did ya ever think)
[04:03.28]Did ya ever think that it would get this way?
[04:07.33](Did ya ever think)
[04:07.94]Did ya ever think that we would pay the price for being lazy?
