From the Ritz to the Rubble

From the Ritz to the Rubble Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, last night these two bouncers
And one of ’em’s alright
The other one’s a scary’un
His way or no way; totalitarian
He’s got no time for you looking or breathing
How he don’t want you to
So step out the queue
He makes examples of you
And there’s nowt you can say
Behind they go through to the bit where you pay
And you realise then that it’s finally the time
To walk back past ten-thousand eyes in the line
And you can swap jumpers and make another move
Instillеd in your brain you’ve got something to prove
To all thе smirking faces and the boys in black
Why can’t they be pleasant? Why can’t they have a laugh?
He’s got his hand in your chest, he wants to give you a duff
Well, secretly I think they want you all to kick off
They want arms flying everywhere
And bottles as well
It’s just something to talk about
A story to tell, yeah

[Chorus]
Well, I’m so glad they turned us all away
We’ll put it down to fate
I said a thousand million things
That I could never say this morning
Got too deep
But how deep is too deep?

[Verse 2]
Well, this town’s a different town today
Said, this town’s a different town to what it was last night
You couldn’t have done that on a Sunday
And that girl’s a different girl today
Said, that girl’s a different girl to her you kissed last night
You couldn’t have done that on a Sunday
Of course not

[Chorus]
Well, I’m so glad they turned us all away
We’ll put it down to fate
I thought a thousand million things
That I could never think this morning
Got too deep
But how deep is too deep?

[Verse 3]
Last night, what we talked about
It made so much sense
But now the haze has ascended
It don’t make no sense anymore
I said, last night, what we talked about
It made so much sense
But now the haze has ascended
It don’t make no sense anymore, oh

[Outro]
Da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
