In Chocolate Town all the trains are painted brown, and the silver paper of the wrapper.
MIm RE SOL DO RE SOL
There's a dapper little man, and he wears a wax mustache
DO RE SOL DO RE SOL
That he twists with nicotine fingers as he drops his cigarette ash.
RE SOL
And someone comes and sweeps it up, and then he doffs his cap
RE SOL
And there's a rat in someone's bedroom, and they're shutting someone's trap.
MIm RE
And they'll soon be pulling down the little palaces.
MIm RE SOL DO RE SOL
And the doors swing back and forward, from the past into the present
DO RE SOL DO RE SOL
And the bedside crucifixion turns from wood to phosphorescent.
RE SOL
And they're moving problem families from the South up to the North,
RE SOL
Mother's crying over some soft soap opera divorce,
DO FA RE
And you say you didn't do it, but you know you did of course,
MIm RE
And they'll soon be pulling down the little palaces.
MIm RE SOL DO RE SOL
It's like shouting in a matchbox, filled with plasterboard and hope,

Like a picture of Prince William in the arms of John the Pope.

There's a world of good intentions, and pity in their eyes,

The sedated homes of England, are theirs to vandalize.

So you knock the kids about a bit, because they've got your name,
RE SOL
And you knock the kids about a bit, until they feel the same.
MIm RE
And they feel like knocking down the little palaces.

You made the girls all turn their heads, and in turn they made you miserable.
MIm RE SOL DO RE SOL
To be the heir apparent, to the kingdom of the invisible.

Oh they feel like knocking down the little palaces.
