lyrics

I put a note out for the milkman
Then I lock the door up tight
Check on all the windows
Turn out all the lights
Echoes of our history cut through the midnight hour
We’re all buying wallpaper now

I remember all those crazy days
Of bullets, bells, and beads
Somehow time has changed our ways
And the nature of our needs
And all that peace and love stuff
Just turned upside down somehow
We’re all buying wallpaper now

All the friends I had my times with
The ones who shared my dreams
Are up to their necks in mortgage cheques
And company pension schemes
Have we had all our freedom
Or just the freedom we’re allowed
We’re all buying wallpaper now

Everybody’s closing in
And everybody’s buying
One more picture for the wall to make it right
All the neighbours nosing in
And all the kids are crying
And Johnny Cool is staying home tonight

To put a note out for the milkman
To lock the door up tight
Check on all the windows
And turn out all the lights
Will the ones who made it through all this
Stand up and take a bow
We’re all buying wallpaper now
