Diplomatic Washing machine
Climb down from cloud cuckoo land
Dish this dirt for senile convert

Clean living as in the adverts

And in this brave new world

Proud is the Philistine
And in this brave new world
Who needs the sun to shine


Dig this grave
Don't make no waves

Fairy tales and stagnant pools
You call this living
Well I call you fool

This ideal vision propped up on a stool

And in this brave new world

Proud is the Philistine
And in this brave new world
Who needs the sun to shine


Blank cheques
Prosperity

What do you want
What do you want from me
I'm ever so sorry

I'm ever so sorry
I can't help you
I can't even help me


And in this brave new world
Proud is the Philistine

And in this brave new world
Who needs the sun to shine


And proud is that mirror of mine
