The Key to Life on Earth

Gold, let it unfold, imagine you're dressed in gold

Roaring crowds in Manchester will 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 till 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 Park and we will 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 on 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
