Lyrics

Gold, let it unfold Imagine you're dressed in gold Roaring crowds in Manchester Would manage to be told Oh, and your king, the boy you loved in spring The way she looks at him The common goal, and waiting for the kids to go We've been held back for after-school meetings They've got it in for me For all it's worth, the key to life on Earth Jokers, happy-go-xenophobe locals Have got it in for me For all I'm worth, the key to life on Earth Holy smokes, you kids and your jokes Asking where we got our jeans and where the hell we found our coats 'Cause dirty streets these days are graced by Nikes of black and green And headstrong boys in chinos barely grasp what that could mean And they lie, the men that wrung us dry The boys who poked your eye The common fool, the walk to school for you and I We've been held back for after-school meetings They've got it in for me For all it's worth, the key to life on Earth The thing is, these out-of-touch, scrounging rich kids Are living here for free On my home turf, the key to life on Earth Call in to wake you up in the morning Iron your suit and tie Forever, 'til you die Join forces like carousels and their horses Forever spinning 'round And never coming down Come out and join us, honey, we will sort you out Come work in Brookfield Farm, and we can shut your mouth Come work in Sainsbury's, babe, until you've had enough Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out Come out and join us, honey, we will sort you out Come work in Brenley Farm, and we can shut your mouth Come work in Sainsbury's, babe, until you've had enough Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out
