All of the plans we made
And all of the money we saved
How things have changed
And I haven't had a good time
In such a long time
And, oh, how things have changed

But they talk and talk and talk and talk and talk
No one lets their hair down anymore
But they talk and talk and talk and talk
No one lets their hair down anymore

Everyone's on edge so woe betide
A word that's said behind the curtain
Children kick a ball around
Householders wear a frown

When shall we move away
That's all I'm trying to say

Off the beaten track you can relax
Or so it said in all the surveys
Out here on the edge of town
Sunday means wash the car down

When shall we move away
That's all I'm trying to say
