lyrics

AS THE SUN ROSE UP OVER THE MOTORWAY
I WATCH YOU SPEED BY OFF ON YOUR HOLIDAYS
WITH TWO KIDS IN THE CAR, A HUSBAND CALLED CARL
AND TOWING A CARAVAN
AND I CAN TELL BY THE MODEL THAT YOUR DOING JUST FINE
YOU GOT MONEY IN THE BANK AND YOUR ALL SET FOR LIFE
BECAUSE CARL GOT PROMOTION
AND ALL THAT YOUR SPENDINGS JUST A DROP IN THE OCEAN

AND IM GUESSING THAT YOUR LISTENING TO BLAND FM
WHERE THEY PLAY THE SAME SONGS AGAIN AND AGAIN
AND YOU OPEN UP A BAG OF SWEETS
AND THE KIDS ARE SAYING ARE WE THERE YET?

AND AS THE SUN DIPS DOWN OVER THE OCEAN
ITS ABOUT THAT TIME THAT YOU GOT THE NOTION
TO POST A SOCIAL UPDATE TO LET THE PEASANTS KNOW
THAT YOUR DOING JUST GREAT
AND YOUR THERE IN YOUR SELFIE, GLASS OF WINE IN YOUR HAND
AND CARLS NEXT TO YOU IN SOME CHEAP RAYBANS
AND THE KIDS ARE WATCHING X FACTOR
AND EVERYTHINGS LAUGH OUT LOUD IN YOUR WORLD

AND AS YOU SEND THAT STATUS INTO CYBERSPACE
I CATCH A GLIMPSE OF YOUR SMIRKING FACE
AND I KNOW THAT THIS PEFECT LIFE
WASNT ALWAYS THE CASE

SEE I REMEMBER YOU WHEN YOU WERE A POUNDSHOP PRINCESS
TRACKSUIT AND CHEAP TRAINERS YOU REALLY DIDNT CARE LESS
LIVING IN A HIGH RISE NEAR THE HAIRDRESSERS AND LAUNDERETTE
RUNNING WITH THE BAD BOYS DOING STUFF IN STOLEN CARS
SHOPLIFTING IN BHS, WOOLWORTHS AND MARKS AND SPARKS
WATCHING PIRATE VHS, ROBBING FOLKS AND BREAKING HEARTS

AS THE SUN GLINTS OFF THE TOP OF YOUR 4X4
THE BBC BLARES FROM OUT OF YOUR 44 INCH 4K READY TV SET
THAT CARL JUST BOUGHT FROM THE INTERNET
AND THE KIDS ARE AT SCHOOL SO YOU POUR A GLASS OF WINE
AND SWITCH TO LOOSE WOMEN AND RELAX AND UNWIND
BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE TO GO TO WORK
NOW THAT YOUR LIVING IN THIS LUXURY

BUT YOU NEVER WENT TO WORK, NOT EVEN FOR A DAY
YOU EARNED YOUR MONEY THE OLD FASHIONED WAY
SELLING OUT YOUR SOUL
TO ALL THE GUYS ON THE ESTATE

SEE I REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A POUNDSHOP PRINCESS
FALLING OUT OF NIGHTCLUBS SOMEWHERE ROUND 4AM
CRAWLING HOME, CRASHING OUT, WAKING UP, THEN DOIN IT AGAIN
TURNING TRICKS OUT ON THE STREET, A DIFFERENT GUY EVERY WEEK
SELLING LOVE ON THE CHEAP, I PRAY THE LORD YOUR SOUL TO KEEP
YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO FALL ON YOUR FEET
IM NOT QUITE SURE HOW YOU SLEEP

AND IF I SEE YOU OUT WALKING DOWN THE HIGH STREET
ILL BITE MY TONGUE AND HOLD MY PEACE
I WOULDNT WANT TO RUIN
YOUR 2.4 KID SURBURBAN DREAM

SEE I REMEMBER YOU WHEN YOU WERE A POUNDSHOP PRINCESS
TRACKSUIT AND CHEAP TRAINERS YOU REALLY DIDNT CARE LESS
LIVING IN A HIGH RISE NEAR THE HAIRDRESSERS AND LAUNDERETTE
RUNNING WITH THE BAD BOYS DOING STUFF IN STOLEN CARS
SHOPLIFTING IN BHS, WOOLWORTHS AND MARKS AND SPARKS
WATCHING PIRATE VHS, ROBBING FOLKS AND BREAKING HEARTS
