Middle Class Heroes The Divine Comedy

[Intro]
Hello, what have we here?
A young lady
To what do I owe this pleasant surprise, my pretty one?
How may I be of service this dark and wintry night?
Ahh, I see. You wish me to look into the future
Your future
After GCSEs, A-levels, university
After your first badly paid job in advertising
Okay, my pretty
Just cross my hand with plastic
And I'll see what we can do
Wait, the fog is lifting

[Verse 1]
I see Oriental paper globes
Hanging like decomposing cocoons
While exotic candles overload
The musty air with their stale perfumes
And I see lentils, beans, seaweed, and rice
In jars on the windowsill
And it ain't hardly enough to feed the mice
Running behind the lines of allergy pills

[Chorus]
All these things will come to pass
When heroes of the middle class
Face up to their responsibilities
