It's hard to live in the country |
|
In the present state of things |
|
Your body gets pulled right back |
|
You get a terrible urge to drink |
|
At three a.m. |
|
The stick people recede |
|
The locals get up your nose |
|
And leather soles stick on cobble stones |
|
It's hard to live in the country |
|
It has a delicate ring |
|
Nymphette new romantics come over the hill |
|
It gets a bit depressing |
|
Paper local |
|
Drunken scandal |
|
Publish your address as well |
|
Locals surround where you dwell |
|
Old ladies confiscate your gate railings |
|
For government campaigns |
|
Its tough in home country |
|
Councils hold the ring |
|
D. bowie look-alikes |
|
Permeate car parks |
|
Grab the churches while you can |
|
Port-a-loos |
|
Yellow cabins by methodist doors |
|
New jersey car parks permeated by |
|
D. bowie [sound-alikes] |
|
It's good to live in the country |
|
You can get down to real thinking |
|
Walk around look at geometric tracery |
|
Hedgehogs skirt around your leathered soles |
|
Fall down drunk on the road |
|
It's good to live in the country |
|
Look at yourself as a man |
|
The valley rings with ice-cream vans |
|
It's good to live in the country |
|
Leather soles stick on precinct flagstones |
|
Small up town americas like your outskirt town |
|
The villagers |
|
Are surrounding the house |
|
The locals have come for their due |
|
It's hard to live in the country |
