All my friends are moving by the sea
It's exactly how they said it would be
Commuter belt growth trickles down the river
Like driftwood floating down the estuary
Cities only love you when you're rich
Or can work around the confines of the pinch
All your hopes and dreams sold for a postcode
The capital of capital deceives
And I don't know about you
But I'd like an intervention
I don't know about you
But I find it hard to mention
That I felt once exactly like you do
That I felt once exactly like you do
That I felt once exactly like you do
That I felt once exactly like you do
I always said I'd never be a slave
But I now I worry every single day
That all my hopes and dreams died in their twenties
Choked in smog and opportunity
Rent means you can never take a rest
And I'm sure all my days are better spent
Making up my mind by taking as much time
As a situation needs
And I don't know about you
But I'd like an intervention
I don't know about you
But I find it hard to mention
That I felt once exactly like you do
That I felt once exactly like you do
That I felt once exactly like you do
That I felt once exactly like you do
All these years of stress have taught me this
That hope begins at home and I just wish
That glint in your eye
Was there all the time
All these years of stress have taught me this
That hope begins at home and I just wish
That glint in your eye
Was there all the time
All these years of stress have taught me this
That hope begins at home and I just wish
That glint in your eye
Was there all the time
All these years of stress have taught me this
That hope begins at home and I just wish
That glint in your eye
Was there all the time
