    I think this song captures beautifully the feeling a lot of people get once they finish school and find themselves wondering “what now?”...
    “Iron your suit and tie, forever till you die...”
    This version even more so....
    Thank you Dec!

  • @avar.3768
    @avar.3768 4 роки тому +10

    reminds me so much of the glory days of britpop! reminiscent of pulp’s common people and blur’s early hits about the monotony of life in working class England. the social commentary just adds to the already brilliant music.

    [Verse 1]
    Gold, let it unfold
    And imagine you're dressed in gold
    Roaring crowds in Manchester would manage to be told
    Oh, and your king, the boy you loved in spring
    The way she looks at him
    The common goal, and waiting for the kids to go
    [Chorus]
    We've been held back for after-school meetings
    They've got it in for me
    For all it's worth
    The key to life on Earth
    Jokers, happy go xenophobe locals
    Have got it in for me
    For all I'm worth
    The key to life on Earth
    [Interlude]
    [Verse 2]
    Holy smokes
    You kids and your jokes
    Asking where we got our jeans
    And where the hell we found our coats
    'Cause dirty streets these days are graced
    By Nikes of black and green
    And headstrong boys in chinos
    Barely grasp what that could mean
    And they lie, the men that wrung us dry
    The boys who poked your eye
    The common fool, the walk to school for you and I
    [Chorus]
    We've been held back for after-school meetings
    They've got it in for me
    For all it's worth
    The key to life on Earth
    The thing is, these out-of-touch scrounging rich kids
    Are living here for free
    On my home turf
    The key to life on Earth
    [Bridge]
    Call in to wake you up in the morning (Morning)
    Iron your suit and tie forever until you die
    Join forces, like carousels and their horses
    Forever spinning 'round
    And never coming down
    [Outro]
    Come out and join us, honey, we will sort you out
    Come work in Brookfield Park and we can shut your mouth
    Come work in Sainsbury's, babe, until you've had enough
    Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out
    Come out and join us, honey, we will sort you out
    Come work in Brenley Farm and we can shut your mouth
    Come work in Sainsbury's, babe, until you've had enough
    Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out
