British Racing Green

British Racing Green (Haines & Moore)

(La la la la) Everybody needs to dream
(La la la la) Romance and love and eight hours sleep
(La la la la) A little cottage by the sea
(La la la la) A glass of gin, a box of chocolates
(La la la la) To be both wanted and decide
(La la la la) To move away when we retire
(La la la la) No hell or heaven in-between
(La la la la) British racing green

Pebble-dash houses under-
Neath the flight-path, still life
Perfectly preserved through double-glazed windows
Satellite dish brings
Entertainment to our home
Crack in the foundations claim for
Compensation leads to
Aspirations and pipe dreams
Buy myself a sports car
