The Planner's Dream Goes Wrong |
Letting loose the lunatics — wasn’t the greatest of ideas |
Giving them plans and money to squander — |
Should have been the worst of our fears |
The dream life luxury living was a pleasant No. 10 whim, |
But somewhere down the line of production |
They left out human beings |
They were gonna build communities |
It was going to be pie in the sky — |
But the piss stench hallways and broken down lifts |
Say the planners dream went wrong |
If people were made to live in boxes |
God would have given them string |
To tie around their selves at bed time |
And stop their dreams falling through the ceiling |
And the public school boy computers — |
Keep spewing out our future — |
The house in the country designs the 14th floor |
Old Mrs. Smith don’t get out much more — |
Coitus interruptus 'cause of next doors rows |
Your washing gets nicked when the lights go out — |
Baby’s scream in the nightmare throng |
But planners just get embarrassed when their plans GO WRONG! |
