My Hotel

I'll start to buy again in my home town
the pace so furious I can't slow down
gates are open now the war is over

a retail, enterprise, shopping hell
you don't want to see me with this ne'er-do-well
the stakes are raised now the war is over
I've started stocking up in my hotel

I don't like what you've implied
about me and the countryside
I'm searching for better advice
I know that you only think twice

my pockets are empty and my wallet's bare
I'm feeling that recession start to pinch - oh well,
I never thought I'd be a pig in clover

the place takes shape but the shelves are bare
I'm brutally haunted my your hollow stare
time's ticking, it'll soon be over
I've started stocking up in my hotel

tell me what you despise
as the property market dives
appearing so slick and so wise
when dispensing your awful advice

sunrise, tongue-tied, taking the time, living it up
take sides, long rides, terrible times, giving it up

I feel quite safe and immune to pain
but I can't stop crying when it starts to rain
the gates are open now the war is over
the crumbs of comfort being flicked my way
are scant consolation on this dreary day
the stakes are raised now the war is over
I've started stocking up in my hotel

I don't like what you've implied
about me and the countryside
I'm searching for better advice
I know that you only think twice

sunrise, tongue-tied, taking the time, living it up
take sides, long rides, terrible times, giving it up
