Bourgeois Town

And your wife

And your settee

Don't want to be mistreated by neo-bourgeoisie

I'm in a bourgeois town

I'm in a bourgeois town

I'm in a bourgeois town, spread the news around

Open newspaper

What do I see?

A politician with kids doing the best for me

I'm in a bourgeois town

I'm in a bourgeois town

I'm in a bourgeois blues, spread the news around

Get on a bus

Keep head down

A DG gets on sits opposite like a clown

A bourgeois town

I'm in a bourgeois town

I've got the bourgeois blues, spread the news around

I've got the bourgeois blues

In a bourgeois town

And I go to park

For fresh air

I look around there's loads of beach bums and men with shaven hair

I've got the bourgeois blues

I've got the bourgeois blues

I'm in a bourgeois town, spread the news around

I open mail

For letters from friends

Or maybe cheques

All I get is demands from the C.O. Exchequer

I'm in a bourgeois town

I'm in a bourgeois city

I've got the bourgeois blues, spread the news around

Get on a train

To get out of town

Sat opposite a politician with his head held down

Walk back streets

To fresh air

I meet a journalist with no money for beer

I'm in a bourgeois town

I'm in a bourgeois town

I'm in a bourgeois town
