All Modern Conveniences 歌詞
All Modern Conveniences - Clifford T. Ward
Old fashioned she might be
Dated like last year's pop song
Ageing like this year's calendar
It's a wonder she can still raise a smile
But in spite of her pension
Governments and Ascension Day
She can
Her local vicar serves her pie in the sky
While her M P talks about the policy for European entry
In jargon she does not understand
She's not interested
She makes do
She says she's happy
Talking of her late husband who looks down
From the mantlepiece
She says she's happy
Says she's happy
Says she's happy
Oh she says she's happy
She likes her television
'Crossroads' Coronation Street
And Robin Day's bow tie
She likes the quiz shows
Where people win a lot of money
And that makes sense to her
She likes to listen to the radio
Music Clifford T
She says he's nice
He's flattered
Birth
Marriage
Death
She needs the local newspaper
Derek writes what she likes to read
But they're knocking down her house now
To build some more
Knocking down her house now
Build some more
She can read about it
On the front page
Or buy the same plot
With new bricks
For ten thousand pounds
Central heating
Separate dining room
Detached the garage
All modern conveniences
