"It Ain't Yours Anymore" lyrics
"It Ain't Yours Anymore"
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Would you call Epsom races with hordes of white faces
Racist or chavvy or worse?
And who calls a member of Parliament caught
By Hampstead Heath police perverse
Would you call Royal Ascot a meat market
Like you do the places we go?
'Cause Henley Regatta, it don't really matter
The yacht you got, but who you know
It's always Oxford versus Cambridge
A boat race but much, much more
Try turning up at Putney Bridge
And soon you'll get to know the score
You're Chelsea, you're Palace, you're Fulham
But your feet won't touch the floor
You sing, "This city's yours", alright
Afraid it ain't yours anymore
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
You call the folk beneath plastic, fake, or cheap
Apart from particular class
Their vocal cords ruined by yelling, "Whose streets?"
But happy kissing honourable ass
Whenever we go clubbing in a short dress
You're the first to label and think
Why do fools fall outta cabs
And who let the lower class drink?
It's always Oxford versus Cambridge
A boat race but much, much more
Try turning up at Putney Bridge
And soon you'll get to know the score
You're Chelsea, you're Palace, you're Fulham
But your feet won't touch the floor
You sing, "This city's yours", alright
Afraid it ain't yours anymore
I've seen West Ham and Orient, seen Millwall, QPR
Sing, "This city's ours", as they are fuck-munched at the bar
You sing, "This city's yours", never will be, never was
And any claim you have to it ain't serious, because
City's only yours to claim when your daughter's crossing street
And neither roving eyes, or predator, nor whistle does she meet
It's always Oxford versus Cambridge
A boat race but much, much more
Try turning up at Putney Bridge
And soon you'll get to know the score
You're Chelsea, you're Palace, you're Fulham
But your feet won't touch the floor
You sing, "This city's yours", alright
Afraid it ain't yours anymore
Afraid it ain't yours anymore
Afraid it ain't yours anymore

T'Pau - "Only The Lonely" We run in circles
That never connect at the same time
Heaven help the lonely ones
As another day older we get, and here we go
Spending our money
Filling the house with things we hope
Will bring us...
Blancmange - "Mindset" Unlike Wednesday
This day is focused
There will be
No distraction
From the action
So much for giving
So much forgiving
So much for taking
So much for taking
Melody flow free
Placebo tourniquet...
Amy Macdonald - "The Human Demands" One more step
Just give me one more breath
And we'll find our feet
Just take a chance on me
I'm always looking for an answer
Never find the words to say
Do you ever really feel like you're all...
Gary Barlow - "Eleven" I wanna talk, so let me talk
I wanna find another pace now instead of a walk
Take our relationship to another level
We've been cruising long enough so it's now or never
Share with me some late night...
Gerry Cinnamon - "Ghost" Turn into a ghost if you wanna disappear
Take back all the words you whispered in my ear
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
Let memories fade into your wicked mind
Your words still echo in my bones...
