letra de the multi-storey - the men of no property

well i got a letter the other day from the city hall saying:
“you’re on your way, you’re moving
ten long years on the housing list, we’re gonna make up for all the fun you’ve missed”
they wrote to say: “we apologise, for all the delay all the lies”
they were gonna make it up, yeah they had got me a home
out of it all, up up and away, wuthering heights

well at first i thought it was a fairy story, i was wrong, it was a multi-storey
well i packed my bags and took a couple of things
i got a grant for moving and a pair of wings
i started shifting

‘my home’s my castlе’ that’s a joke
i’m ten floors up and the еlevator’s broke
i need a doctor, flying doctor
three cheers for the lord, mary’s been elected again
and again
and again

well there’s palm reading and there’s palm trees
in belfast it takes palm greasing to get the keys
the only man in the city hall
that never paid nothing for his keys at all
was the caretaker, he sleeps in the dome
yeah the corporation machinery is like a giant singer
they’ve got it all sewed up, even the pigeons
but to get right back to the starting point
i did a midnight flip and i skipped the joint
well that d-mn [?]-man knew his job
he wore a mask and he carried a rod
part of the corporation rehabilitation scheme
he was a retired councillor

well now folks, before i go
take some advice and please say no
when they offer you a council flat
demand a house and stick to that
tell ‘em it’s a house you wanna live in
not a bl–dy lighthouse
