The bomb's in the china, the fat's in the fire

There's no turkey left on the table
B A B
The commuter's return on the six o'clock flyer
A F#
Brings no bale of hay for the stable
G C9/F G
Well, the light, it is failing along the green belt
C9/F G
As we follow the hard road signs
G C9/F G
Semi-detached in our suburban-ness
C9/F G
We're living in these hard times
D A G A
Well the fly's in the milk and the cat's in the stew
D A G A
Another bun in the oven, oh, what to do?
D A G A
We'll laugh and we'll sing and try to bring
D A E D
A pound from your pocket, good day to you
G C9/F
Oh, these hard times
B A B
The politicians sat on the wall

G C9/F G
And the line they take is the line they make
C9/F G
But it's not the line they keep
D A G A
Well the fly's in the milk and the cat's in the stew

We'll laugh and we'll sing and try to bring

A pound from your pocket, good day to you

Oh, these hard times
B A B
The cow jumped over yesterday's moon
A B
And the lock ran away with the key
B A B
You know what you like and you like what you know
A F#
But there is no jam for tea
G C9/F G
Well, the light, it is failing along the green belt
