"Theme Park Blues" lyrics

It feels like hydration was just the thing found in my youth
Because last Tuesday I got a spot of, a spot of bad news
A spot of bad news

The next day we sped up the slow lane to Blackpool
And when we got there, there was always an empty space on the same ride as you
An empty seat next to you

It's just there's not much you can do
If you've got the theme park blues
Theme park blues

I can see teenage mothers feeding their children fags and candy
But a patriotic feeling surges up inside from my land of hope and glory
My land of hope and glory

And I wish I could scream 'round those bends with you
But I've got the theme park blues
The theme park blues

It's just that everything is upside-down
Though you're the one corkscrewing 'round
Roller-coasters aren't held up by screws
The seagulls smile as the sun shines down
Though I'm the one who has the frown

There's not much you can do for the theme park blues
The theme park blues
Theme park blues

And no, there's not much you can do
No, there's not much you can do
No, there's not much you can do
If you've got the theme park blues
The theme park blues
The theme park blues
If you've got the theme park blues
