Furniture - To Gus

To Rate
Maybe in your time
Things were worse than they are now
Or seems so
We gaze into the past it takes on a rosy glow
Or seems to
With ale at three and two a barrel
We could all forget our troubles
Or seem to
Sing the folks some songs
That have popped into your head
They're laughing
Put the donkey in the wash house
Grab a crust of bread
And you're laughing
Life up from the bottom has got you to the top
Or something
A life that is a symbol of never giving up
Or something
Tell us of the fame you've found
With Wait Until The Work Comes Round
Or something
Wandering by your place
I wonder did you ever starve
You always had a bob or two from making people laugh
The bright blue plaque
Proudly boasts your name
The bright blue posters say that nothing's changed
Gus, you wouldn't recognise your town
But you sure as hell would recognise the times
They're laughing
Or something
It seems so
