Lonely Road

 Long blonde hair

Reaching down

Floaty skirt

Reaching near the ground

Patchouli and flowers

Chakras and sun

Astrology charts just for fun

Rite of passage on Goa beach

You made it clear you'd never look at me

Throw in my face that I'm a slum kid brat

Scream at me that I'm not even working class


So the only way for me is to walk down this lonely road

And if I had my time again I'd still walk this lonely road


Revolution came and I cropped my hair

Black leather jacket and underground buzz

You married into money and the Chelsea Set

No place for me in your private jet

Expensive bars and royal family

Insider dealings and property

The commons get enclosed again

World has changed but the sign's the same


I get bullshit from your pr firm

Peace and love demands another war

Dope dealer chic into armament shares

Can't afford the price of human care

You barricade nineteen sixty eight

Privatise the welfare state

Behind the walls of your country retreat

You won't have to listen to the likes of me.
