maggie thatcher's dream - grace petrie lyrics

Loading...

i could forgive you if you thought
you’ve been sold short
i’m a bad investment of the

rbs sort
working around the clock
to try and raise my stock
do you regret getting in my boat
when we’re trying to stay afloat
and i’ve the buoyancy of a northern rock?

when i looked at the big picture
saw the rich getting richer
when i tried to play the long game
i was on the losing team
can i be so middle cl-ss
and still end up on my -ss?
is this an economic nightmare or just
maggie thatcher’s dream?

there’s not enough money in the bank
not enough petrol in the tank
when this month’s overdraft fees are gonna bring me to my knees
i’ve got the city boys’ bonuses to thank

another charge to the list
another direct debit missed
when the latest petrol prices
fuel my private credit crisis
oh i know this ain’t no way to exist

but when i looked at the big picture
saw the rich getting richer
when i tried to play the long game
i was on the losing team
does my whole life just amount
to what’s in my bank acoount?
is this my credit rating nightmare or just
a capitalist’s dream?

when greed and ambition went and formed a coalition
no such thing as big society
and no one on my team
when there’s no one left to vote for
are we all in the same boat?
or is that just a crazy optimist singing
socialism’s dream?

and i know you’d live with me, my darling
in a cardboard box
but i’d rather build you a castle
with doors and locks
something to own
something to call our home
foundations made of stone
and i almost had it you know

but when i looked at the big picture
saw the rich getting richer
when i tried to play the long game
i was on the losing team
can i be so middle cl-ss
when i can’t afford the gas?
is this my economic nightmare or just
maggie thatcher’s dream?
