Did Ya |
| Went for a walk down the Old King’s Road |
| To see if anybody was there |
| But there was nobody home at 3 Bywater Street |
| And they had sold Cadogan Square |
| And I remember myself in my tie dye sweater |
| And my hipster corduroy flares |
| As I knocked on doors |
| And walked down one-way streets that led nowhere |
| Ah, did ya ever think it wouldn’t last forever? |
| Did ya ever think that it would get this bad? |
| Did ya ever think that everything would get so crazy? |
| Now the Chelsea Drug Store needs a fix |
| It’s in a state of ill repair |
| And my Cuban heels are hurting my feet |
| Just to add to my despair |
| La-di-dahs drove Mini cars in the summertime |
| (In the summertime) |
| Now they’re towed away for parking on a double yellow line |
| And they can’t pay the fine |
| (Did you ever think) |
| Did you ever think we’d all believe the hype? |
| (Did you ever think) |
| Did you ever think the classes all would revert back to type? |
| (Did you ever think) |
| Did you ever think the system ever really got it right? |
| Oh, baby |
| They filled us full of false illusions and promiscuity |
| And they led us down that class-less road to mediocrity |
| As we walked down that alley way of hope |
| We thought we’d found the motherload |
| But we were led like lambs to that promise land |
| With all the debts that we would owe |
| Once trendies posed for tourist pictures in the summertime |
| (In the summertime) |
| Not content with taking Polaroids |
| They purchased all the property that they could find |
| And I’ve just sold mine |
| (Did you ever!) |
| Did ya ever think that this green and pleasant land |
| (Did ya ever think) |
| Would end up in the bottom of some garbage can |
| (Did ya ever think) |
| A dustbin full of promises and half-hearted plans |
| Oh, baby |
| Did ya, did ya, did ya ever think? |
| Did you ever think? |
| (In the summertime) |
| Now miseries and groaners moan and reminisce |
| About the good old times and whine, whine, whine |
| (Did ya ever think) |
| Did ya ever think when things were really fab |
| (Did ya ever think) |
| That we’d be looking through a dustbin for a dog-end to drag |
| (Did ya ever think) |
| And sleep on park benches wrapped in plastic bags |
| Oh, baby |
| Did ya ever think that it would get this crazy? |
| (Did ya ever think) |
| Did ya ever think that it would get this way? |
| (Did ya ever think) |
| Did ya ever think that we would pay the price for being lazy? |
