Verse 1
(A minor) (F major) (A minor) Welcome to
(D minor) Skidmaw
Lane (C major) (B flat#dim) (A major)
(A minor) (F major)
(A minor) Welcome to
(D minor) Skidmaw
Lane (C major) (B flat#m) (B flat#dim) (A minor) (A major)
It does your creep, it reeks round (A minor) here
The smell of defeat, it reeks round here
But the cost of life's so
(F major) cheap round (A minor) here
But the cost of living ain't
cheap round here
It's insane
Britain
Vanity claim
Britain
Nothing can change
Britain
Britain (F major) will stay
(A minor) Bri tain
And there's something
about these bricks
The nouveau riche and the old hat money
The birthplace of the gentle men
That ain't gentle when
they wish to gentrify
The politician will smile and say
How you doing?
Swear blind he can change your life
Eat as much as you can
and get a gastric ban,
The
NHS will save your life.
The fat of the lime,
suck the fat of the spam.
Mr
Minister, we (F major) need a (A minor) plan.
I hear you talking bout
them trade embargoes,
You see them chicken shops, (F major)
you need to (C major) bar though.
(A minor) Tax the rich less as you slap the poor,
And let the temptation to
fester on my door.
Who do you blame for the poison on the streets,
The radio, the
TV or (F major) the food we (A minor) eat?
Psychological cost, psychological warfare
It's near to us, it's (F major) there to (A minor) us
And it's near (F major) to (A minor)
(D minor) us (C major)
(G major) (B flat#dim) (A major)
To dream the dream, to (A minor) taste the dream
To live the dream, to lose the dream
Get (A major) off (A minor) of the boat and
chase the dream
House on a hill and a pension scheme
Get the kids into private school
Mommy and daddy never raised no fool
We all came here to make it big
But found life just weren't so (F major) simple (A minor)
As we're going, we're coming,
we're coming, we're going
And they're trapped and
attracted to the skinful
Polluting the mind and looting the soul
I know, you know, you know, I know
The venom stays two steps away
Daddy may get quite (F major) mixed today
(A minor) Low pay packs and high inflation
And now they want to blame
us for (F major) the ill of the (A minor) na tion
It's
Tim (F major) (A minor) ber (D minor) land
(C major)
(B flat#m) (A minor) (A major) (A minor)
(F major)
(A minor) (D minor) It's
Timberland (C major) (B flat#m) (B flat#dim) (A minor)
(A major)
you
