In the town where I was born
Lived a man who went to work
And he told us of his life

Building spaceships on £40 a week

And he'd take us all for rides

And we'd do some serious drugs in
Onboard the Enterprise Allowance
We could do whatever we liked


We would go to a Meadowlark Lemon seminar
Be at the Tony Monopoly incident

Sort a strobe for Connie Plank
Shop around with Johnny Kwango


If you would come with me to Dawlish
I'd be like Stadler's caddy for ya


And we would return in time for tea
And our Dad's would not have inklings
We said we'd been to organise a Frisbee competition

With the gypsies down the road

Do you want to swap a hundred spandex overcoats

For the mental age of a haversack
It's been like this since we saw
Prag Vec at the Melkweg


Oh I doctored my edible thong with Listeria
My only hope is that your offspring walks backwards

And just as I expected the shopkeeper appeared
And then the band began to play
