lyrics

(instrumental, tense)

They put a mural on the wall where the wall was fine
A large bird, abstract, in a colour nobody owns
The council calls it vibrancy, we call it Tuesday
(it Tuesday)
Nothing has changed except the rent, which has

There's a word for this (a word for this)
And they've made the word sound like a favour

Regeneration
(regeneration)
Same street, new adjectives, no one we know
Regeneration
They cleaned it up by moving it away

The chippy's a bar with the chippy's old sign kept ironically
Forty quid for something that used to cost four
They kept the font. They were very careful about the font.
(about the font)
Nobody kept the people. The font was the priority.

My nan lived there for fifty-one years.
There's a plaque now.
It's not about her.
(BAND BACK IN, HARDER)
