Lyrics
New Town State Of Mind
Hello from Legoland
Constructed to display
Pebble-dashed uniformity
Without decay
Insipid islands of
Day-glo Begonia's
Street light hanging baskets
Vomiting Fuschia's
Round and round
Roundabouts
Once more
In search of my illusive front door
I'm out of my
New town state of mind
And turn every corner
Only to find
Its the same time after time
Monotonous visions
For every occasion
Perfectly painted
In regulation magnolia
Speed bump bonanza
At night your dreams
Screaming vanilla
Grid lined design
Defines how we all
Work and play
Commuting through deja-vu
Day after day after day (after day after day )
Round and round
Roundabouts, once more
And i swear that last one
We've been round before
I'm outta my
New town state of mind
A town with no centre
Thats easy to enter
Dementia's on the rise
Someone needs a lecture
On warm architecture
A change of direction
Internal inspection of suburbia
Fifty shades of grey
Welcome to
A new car-centred age
Paradise lost
Fostering population growth
You got a whole community
Twitching curtains
Trying to see
A life beyond urban concrete
I'm out of my
New town state of mind
And turn every corner
Only to find
Its the same time after time
Monotonous visions
For every occasion
Perfectly painted
In regulation magnolia
Speed bump bonanza
At night your dreams
Screaming vanilla
