lyrics

The futures spring up everywhere
Flattening failed thoroughfares and walks
Patterns of shaft modernity
There’s scaffolding around half the city

We are building for aspiration
We are building for luxury

Do you see yourself in here in eighteen months’ time?
Behind the most expensive windows devised
With a full view of the roundabout
Full view of some other flats
Filtered light through triple glazing
Filtered air through constant fans

Hey ho! Ring out the bells boys
Open the window and ring out the bells
Hey wow! If you look in the paper
Do you see what they say boys?
We’re all going to hell!

We are building for professions
We are building for careers

Can you see yourself round here in eighteen months’ time?
Beneath the most expensive rents devised
With a fully hiked-up overdraft
Full disclosure, full extent
Full quota of overworking
Home eleven, fully spent

Hey ho! Ring out the bells boys
Open the window and ring out the bells
Hey wow! If you look in the paper
Do you see what they say boys?
We’re all going to hell!
Hey ho! Reclaim the city
No don’t take it softly, but damn them to hell
Hey kids! Drink up we’re leaving
To replant a garden,
Dig a fishpond as well
