Northern Kings - Fallen On Hard Times lyrics

That milk and honeys just around the bend.

Running on bad lines --- wed better run as we go,

Tear up, tear up the overdraft again.

Oh, dear prime minister --- its all such a mess.

Go right ahead and pull the rotten tooth.

Oh, Mr. President --- youve been put to the test.

Come clean, for once, and hit us with the truth.

Looking for sunshine --- oh but its black and its cold

Yet, you say that milk and honeys just round the bend.

Giving us a hard time, my friends

Handing us the same line again.

Fallen on hard times --- and theres nowhere to hide

Now theyve re-possessed the Rolls Royce and the mink.

Turning on the peace sign --- and its back to the wood.

Soon there will be raised a holy stink.

Somebody wake me. Ive been sleeping too long.

Oh, I dont have to take this lying down.

You can keep your promises. shove `em where they belong.

Dont ask me to the party --- wont be around.
