[length: 03:10]
[00:18.80]The bomb’s in the china. The fat’s in the fire.
[00:21.71]There’s no turkey left on the table.
[00:24.89]The commuter’s return on the six o’clock flyer
[00:27.91]Brings no bale of hay for the stable.
[00:31.22]Well, the light, it is failing along the green belt
[00:34.10]As we follow the hard road signs.
[00:37.44]Semi-detached in our suburban-ness —
[00:39.76]We’re living in these hard times.
[00:54.60]Well the fly’s in the milk and the cat’s in the stew.
[00:57.22]Another bun in the oven — oh, what to do?
[01:00.42]We’ll laugh and we’ll sing and try to bring
[01:03.85]A pound from your pocket.
[01:05.32]Good day to you.
[01:07.56]Oh, these hard times.
[01:18.10]The politicians sat on the wall
[01:20.89]And traded with the union game.
[01:23.95]Someone slapped a writ on our deficit —
[01:26.88]Not a penny left to our name.
[01:30.29]Oh, the times are hard and the credits lean,
[01:33.05]And they toss and they turn in sleep.
[01:35.84]And the line they take is the line they make —
[01:38.54]But it’s not the line they keep.
[02:16.94]The cow jumped over yesterday’s moon
[02:19.54]And the lock ran away with the key.
[02:22.78]You know what you like, and you like what you know
[02:25.94]But there is no jam for tea.
[02:29.21]Well the light it is failing along the green belt
[02:32.17]As we follow the hard road signs.
[02:35.12]Semi-detached in our suburban-ness —
[02:38.02]We’re living in these hard times.
