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

If you would come with me to Dawlish
E A E A (rpt instr)
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.
D'ya wanna swap a hundred spandex overcoats
For the mental age of a haversack
E A E A E A (rpt instr)
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.
