Long long time ago, I can still remember
How winter snow would make me smile
And I knew when I had my chance
We’d come inside to warm and dance
And maybe we’d be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every bill that they delivered
Bad news on the mat
How the feck can I pay that?
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read the increase they’d applied
But something chilled me deep inside
The day the bills arrived
So bye-bye to what I needed to buy
Drove my Mazda
down to Asda
but the prices were high
So it’s time for us to march, to strike and defy
to win a bigger share of the pie
to win a bigger share of the pie
Did you write a rebate claim?
And do you have faith in the budget game?
If the papers tell you so
Can you live on a sausage roll?
Can parsimony save your soul?
And can you teach me to live without dough?
Well I know that I would love a rise
That keeps up with what money buys
Kicking off with some new shoes
But now I’ve got the blues
I thought I’d try if I got stuck
To ask if they could spare a buck
But I could tell they don’t give a fuck
The day the bills arrived
So bye-bye to what I needed to buy
Drove my Rover
down to Dover
but the border was high
So it’s time for us to march, to strike and defy
to win a bigger share of the pie
to win a bigger share of the pie
So bye-bye to what I needed to buy
Drove my Honda
down to Rhonnda
but the cost was too high
So it’s time for us to march, to strike and defy
to win a bigger share of the pie
to win a bigger share of the pie
