YOU MUST BE DREAMING

Velvet curtains, marble halls,
Rembrant paintings on the walls,
If you believe they'll ever be yours,
You must be dreaming.

Henly regatta, Ascot Races,
smiling, healthy sun tanned faces.
If you believe you'll ever change places,
You must be dreaming.

Overdraft charges, solicitors fees,
interest rates perpetuate the squeeze.
If you imagine you'll ever break free,
You must be dreaming.

High Street fashions, working class rituals,
the latest designs, the latest initials.
If you think it's anything but superficial,
You must be dreaming.

If you don't believe in political strikes,
are prepared to get "on yer bike",
and imagine you've the freedom to do as you like.
You must be dreaming.
