She wakes up from the deepest sleep she's had this week
She'd like to know why she's so tired
Flicking through last month's Country Living
Life's forgiving as you go
She feels inspired
When Linda leaves for work the doorman gives her flowers
And when she hears the birds in the sky she will cry
Walter works Monday to Saturdays and maybe Sundays too
He likes to get an early start
With crimson braces that survived the credit crunch and polished shoes
He really looks the part
They meet for lunch and wine at 12 o' clock on Fridays
And though it's so refined, both Linda and Walter look up as if to say
I don't like it here that much
I'll stay for a while if you do
If you want something you can touch
Let's get to the back of the queue
Linda teaches in an independent school, they pay her well
Straight from the pockets of the dividend-rich fools and she can tell
That soon the children will forget her lessons and be told to steer
To established generations and traditional careers
Walter says they'll stop society from sinking
But all the while, in his head, Walter is thinking
I don't like it here that much
I'll stay for a while if you do
If you want something you can touch
Let's get to the back of the queue
Isn't it a shame, how they never seemed to notice
That they really felt the same?
Suburbia's calling for you
And they got married in July
Linda threw a bouquet of dandelions
Crystal glasses and disco lights, they all fall down
All fall down
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
They bought a townhouse up in Chelsea with a little helping hand
Filled it with beautiful people, back by popular demand
Linda's school closed for the holidays, she never would return
Walter just got his promotion that he'd worked so hard to earn
And by the time HMRC stopped him from trading
Linda could see the life that she needed was fading
I don't like it here that much
I'll stay for a while if you do
If you want something you can touch
Let's get to the back of the queue
If you want me, I can show you
Suburbia's calling for you
I don't like it here that much
Let's get to the back of the queue
