lyrics

Evening deals pass like clockwork time
There's an underclass that helps to undermine
It's a bitter sweet rebellion kicking not too far
And not too hard this time

Winter breeze sticks in it's evil chill
And the people are wrapped in greys from the cotton mill
There's tenderness a plenty but it's not to sure weather this is an even keel

The summer seller paint with pastel cliches
And all the hippies are too busy making love to save the day
So it's up to you and me with our cotton mill greys to keep on
fighting for what we wanna say

So starbucks populate the overground
And the ring of tills becomes the only sound
And for every lost sensation there's a swinging corporation
Giving up its soul for dollars and pounds
