about

The local doctor doesn't have a waiting list because witchcraft is still alive, and people would prefer to rub a toad on a wart that waste their money on potions from the NHS.

lyrics

A regal scene on a Sunday lawn with mother eating scones
Croquet sounds invade the air, she's sitting on her throne
They shed a tear for yesteryear and pray to be alone
I look at all these silly fools. This house is not my home

Chorus
It's a fact, you can't go back to how things used to be
The world is small enough to call out what will become of me

Our friends have gone and left the hall. The chess set lies forlorn
I look across at where they were. Who will mow the lawn?
Mother pats her knees and says, 'Please stay away from me'
I have fifty trivial things to do, and crumpets for me tea

CHORUS

We dream of being free
With honey just for me
As we look over the wall
Our neighbours have it all

The statue stares with sorry eyes at the gates that set him free
Behind the garden's lots of fun, we might have lost the key
Mother turns up in her car, her servants polish chrome
There's narrow views from narrow minds. This house is not my home

CHORUS
