lyrics

We shopped at Lidl, when you thought it was funny
Aldi before it was trendy
When half of the stuff they had on the shelf
We’d test on the dog before we’d eat it ourselves
cos no one knew what was in them cans
Just some funny looking food from far off lands
Now everyone’s got less money
And our taste buds are not so funny
We’ve tighten our belts and lied to ourselves
We said everything is rosy, it’s just fine
Debbie Sue and Jason are growing up fast
They’re saving up deposits for little flats
They both work at spoons on minimum wage
cos that’s all there’s is round here these days
Me and the missus try and help out where we can
We made a few cut backs, well, that’s the plan
We sit and watch Lewis’s money saving guide
We‘ve switched our broadband, the gas and our leccy supply
And we cancelled the pet insurance
we get all the dogs pills online
I’m pretty sure they’re be working
cos we hardly ever hear Bob whine
Then we blown out the sky subscription
We both stopped going out drinking
The truth is, nobody out, every where’s the same
I’ve always said it’s more than just the smoking ban to blame
We both vape now it’s cheaper than fags
And Domingo baccy that we got from France
Now our only chance of holidays a PPI claim,
Or that accident I may have had when I was not to blame
Cos everyone’s got less money
And that Lidl song’s not so funny
We’ve tighten our belts, we’ve lied to ourselves
we said everything was rosy, it’s just fine
Fun size bollocks
Bite size shite
Where getting ripped off
it’s just not right
The bags are lighter
The bars are smaller
There’s less in the bottles
Now they’re thinner and taller
You get less for your pound now
We’ve all been tricked
Now you only get 5 where you once got 6
What on earth has happened to this dying nation?
It’s down on its knees
But it’s not Shrinkflation
Yes, I know there are massive gaps in Toblerone
And less and thinner sheets on our bog rolls
But there’s more important things that is happening to you
Have you accepted that’s just how it is, there’s nothing you can do
Our swimming baths have shut, the library’s next
The fire station police station there’s not much left
I think that we all need a pay rise 11%‘ll do
Cos what’s good for the gander’s good for the goose.
Everyone has got less money; our taste buds are not so funny,
We tightened our belts we lied to ourselves
that everything is rosy, everything is rosy, everything is rosy it’s just fine.

Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious!

Confused and amazed about the different styles and the overload of lyrics, after my first full album sitdown. Struggeling to find the cohesion, but it will do for now. After a few listens..cd in hand too, starting to like it a lot. Anywhere i can find full lyrics? This must be amoré..my new favorite..italodisco meets dep mod ervanduijvenbode

Great album. Almost a blend of Old Style and New Style Gaz. Delighted to have seen him perform two of the tracks live at Glastonbury. His performance was better than ever, and the songs are right up there with his best. matsan66
