Come To Milton Keynes Lyrics
May I walk you home tonight
On this fine and lovely night tonight -
We'll walk past the luscious houses,
Through rolling lawns and lovely flowers -
Our nice new town where the curtains are drawn
Where hope is started and dreams can be borne.
Let us share our insanity
Go mad together in Community
Boys on the corner looking for their supper
Boys round the green looking for some slaughter -
We used to chase dreams now we chase the dragon
Mine is the semi with the Union Jack on.
In our paradise lost we'll be finding our sanity
In this paradise found we'll be losing our way -
For a brave new day.
May I slash my wrists tonight,
On this fine Conservative night tonight -
I was looking for a job so I came to town
I easily adopt when the chips are down -
I read the ad about the private schemes
I liked the idea but now I'm not so Keyne.
On this fine and lovely night tonight -
We'll walk past the luscious houses,
Through rolling lawns and lovely flowers -
Our nice new town where the curtains are drawn
Where hope is started and dreams can be borne.
Let us share our insanity
Go mad together in Community
Boys on the corner looking for their supper
Boys round the green looking for some slaughter -
We used to chase dreams now we chase the dragon
Mine is the semi with the Union Jack on.
In this paradise found we'll be losing our way -
For a brave new day.
On this fine Conservative night tonight -
I was looking for a job so I came to town
I easily adopt when the chips are down -
I read the ad about the private schemes
I liked the idea but now I'm not so Keyne.

Milton Keynes is a city created by the government of the time as a satellite city to London for people to commute to and from work. It was a "planned" city which was generally thought to lack a soul. During the 1980s it had one of the highest youth suicide rates in the Uk hence the comment about "may I slash my wrists tonight." It was a condemnation of the Tory polices of the day. All very nice on the outside but it hid a very dark underbelly. The idea of the upbeat music was ironic.
The rise of the 'new Town' in the mid 80's. The ideal way to live which brought drugs, gangs and racist violence. I pop at the tories and their beliefs of americanising the UK.
