lyrics

06. Wooden Curtains

In the land of wooden curtains, by the burnt out panda car
The future is uncertain, though it's certain to be hard

Blue sky thinking’s clouded over, by flying bottles and bricks
Where our hope springs eternal and fucks off down the M6

It's a nineteen seventies revival night
The past was grim, the future’s shite
If you walk through the valley at night alone
Don't be surprised if you never get home

Unemployment and redundancy are on the rise again
The mortgage companies murder, with the stroke of a fountain pen

Fascists in the council chambers, with suits and ties and power
And England's green and pleasant land is once more turning sour

We'll fight them on the beaches and in the Town Hall square
We'll teach them that free speech is for all of us to share

They'll target the weakest ones first,
Like all the bullies do
When you're convinced it's not your fight,
That’s when they'll come for you

It's a nineteen seventies revival night
The past was grim, the futures shite
If you walk through, the valley at night alone
Don't be surprised if you never get home
Don't be surprised if you never get home
Don't be surprised if you never, ever get home
