As blue and empty as the sky
Gotta spend some money to feel alive
There's an hour of happiness in that bargain bin
No money left to pay for my sins
As distant as your Mother's gaze
She's got a bag for life, brings it on holiday
Spent too long sucking up all that fear
Better take her by the hand
And drag the poor girl out of here (oh dear)
Wonder why the rich dress like they're poor?
Why those with nothing still lock their front door?
Get loose and let that anger out
I was only lying to see what all the fuss is about
Do you know they hate everything you are?
They're so well educated and drive nice cars
Scarper back to that lovely second home
Gotta see the kids, make sure they've not
Developed minds of their own (oh no)
They're reading those books again
Not watching the news at 10
Where did I go wrong?
Where did they come from?
As blue and empty as the sky
Gotta spend some money to feel alive
There's an hour of happiness in that bargain bin
No money left to pay for my sins
As distant as your Mother's gaze
She's got a bag for life, brings it on holiday
Spent too long sucking up all that fear
Better take her by the hand
And drag the poor girl out of here
