Текст (слова) песни: Kinks - The MillionPoundSemiDetached



Havent we come a long way

From newly-weds in our bed-sitter flat?

We skimped and scraped every penny

For a down payment on our semi-detached.

New towns for all the young hopefuls,

A garden suburb with mortgage attached,

Oh, look at us now, sale all agreed, now its time to exchange the contracts

With the people who sold us a million-pound semi.

Straight out of national service,

Demob suits and short back and sides,

And saw the bomb sites turned air-raid shelters,

Where their families lived all of their lives.

Then the nation built them a utopia,

With pebbledash on the outside, oh,

Look at them now, theyve come a long way, they are affluent and bursting with pride.

Soon well be sitting inside that million-pound semi-detached,

Detached, in our million-pound semi-detached.

Looking back at the past of this million-pound semi.

Two up two down, a back garden, that was the dream,

Two kids, a cat and a dog, that was the scheme.

Then the kids both grew up and got married and moved out of home,

Then we were strangers again, together alone.

Look at us now, what are we like,

Sitting alone in our million-pound semi-detached?

Theyre all taking early retirement, the sum total of all of their lives.

Now the country is fat with inflation, immigration has helped us survive.

Once an englishmans home was his castle,

Now its a freehold investment to buy, oh,

Look at us now, our debts are all paid, and the empire has really struck back.

Were the proud owners of a one-million-pound semi-detached,

So detached in our million-pound semi-detached.

A new generation is buying and starting anew,

And learning by all their mistakes the way people do.

Like all the young hopefuls were buying the future from you,

We hope that one day well understand what youve both been through.

Look at us now, what are we like,

Sitting alone, in our million-pound semi-detached?

Look at us now, what are we like,

Sitting alone, in our million-pound semi-detached?
