All my friends are moving by the sea It's exactly how they said it would be Commuter belt growth trickles down the river Like driftwood floating down the estuary Cities only love you when you're rich Or can work around the confines of the pinch All your hopes and dreams sold for a postcode The capital of capital deceives And I don't know about you But I'd like an intervention I don't know about you But I find it hard to mention That I felt once exactly like you do That I felt once exactly like you do That I felt once exactly like you do That I felt once exactly like you do I always said I'd never be a slave But I now I worry every single day That all my hopes and dreams died in their twenties Choked in smog and opportunity Rent means you can never take a rest And I'm sure all my days are better spent Making up my mind by taking as much time As a situation needs And I don't know about you But I'd like an intervention I don't know about you But I find it hard to mention That I felt once exactly like you do That I felt once exactly like you do That I felt once exactly like you do That I felt once exactly like you do All these years of stress have taught me this That hope begins at home and I just wish That glint in your eye Was there all the time All these years of stress have taught me this That hope begins at home and I just wish That glint in your eye Was there all the time All these years of stress have taught me this That hope begins at home and I just wish That glint in your eye Was there all the time All these years of stress have taught me this That hope begins at home and I just wish That glint in your eye Was there all the time
