ADVERSITY I saw the advert on my t.v. screen Slimline girls and a tea machine Housewife proud of her shiny floor As if that's what she was living for The cat who had his teeth pulled out That's what the public love No doubt a cuddly gimmick to make you smile That cat wont grin for a very long while I saw the advert on my t.v. screen Slimline drinks and the tetley tea Exploit the accent of the flat-cap men Like hell the north will rise again The comradeship of drinking ale The workers revolution failed Too pissed on shit to notice Never mind wear it if it fits I saw the advert on my t.v. screen Slimline cars a real mean Machine its cheaper than this Its cheaper than that its Still ten thousand pounds you twat Do I get a free tart with every one? Can I drive it off into the sun? Has it got a big ashtray? I'm hooked on forty fags a day You mustn't smoke you mustn't drink You mustn't even try to think Just stay dead the advert said Eight out of ten said they enjoyed it The whole damn country died of boredom
