Once upon a time

Days of wine and roses and smug suburban swine

Same old songs, same old cabaret

A fairytale in Notting Hill

Take your partners for the standing still

Once upon a time

Not so happy ending for the Mersey and the Tyne

Who said the story had to end this way?

A fairytale on Beeston Hill

Take your partners for the standing still

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid...
