In the town where I was born   Lived a man who went to work   And he told us of his life   Building space ships on forty pounds a week      And he’d take us all for rides   And we’d do some serious drugs in   On board the Enterprise Allowance   We could do whatever we liked      And we could 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’d return in time for tea   And our Dads would not have inklings   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   Now my only hope is that your offspring walks backwards   Just as I expected the shopkeeper appeared   And then the band began to play
