Houseplants

[Verse 1]
Kids are getting smarter but the rent ain't getting cheaper
Zeitgeist operation and the skin is getting pinker
Houseplants in my future, houseplants to disguise
There's a rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes
Rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes
Houseplants, houseplants
We speak about our days, yeah, we speak about a raise
Everybody's bored, we're just too afraid to say
Houseplants in my future, houseplants to disguise
There's a rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes
Rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes
Rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes
Ooh
[Break]
Houseplants, houseplants
Houseplants, houseplants
Houseplants, houseplants
Kids are getting smarter but the rent ain't getting cheaper
Zeitgeist operation and the skin is getting pinker
Houseplants, houseplants
We speak about our days, yeah, we speak about a raise
Everybody's bored, we're just too afraid to say
Houseplants, houseplants
We squeeze it at night, oh, we squeeze it so tight
We squeeze it at night and it's getting so tight
Houseplants, houseplants
Gardens ain't a saviour, decoration ain't behaviour
Gardens ain't a saviour, decoration ain't behaviour
Gardens ain't saviour, decoration ain't behaviour
Gardens ain't a saviour, garden's ain't saviour
Gardens ain't a saviour, oh, gardens ain't a saviour
Gardens ain't a saviour, garden centre saviour
Gardens ain't a saviour, garden centre saviour!
Houseplants, houseplants
Houseplants, houseplants
Houseplants, houseplants
Houseplants
Houseplants
And I've spent my time looking for a future that doesn't exist
This is my beautiful house, and I can't afford to live in it
Money for the baxtoral, 1970s, walking till in it
Children's television, we're still making plans for Nigel
Middle England, general conversation in a sympathetic tone
Chimps are being killed with your other hand
This is how the other half live, green fingers, my friends are through me
Career driven, guided by oxygen, or maybe I'm just lazy
