Prospects Lyrics

Cover art for Prospects lyrics by Madness

This seems to be about an old, Carribbean man who was invited to the UK after the war to assist in the nation's recovery but is now largely discarded and ignored by society. He dreams of home and misses his family and the warm weather but, because of the unfavourable rate of exchange, cannot return.
