The Jam - Planner's Dream Goes Wrong lyrics
[The Jam - Planner's Dream Goes Wrong lyrics]
Letting loose the lunatics - wasn't
The greatest of ideas
Giving them plans and money to squander
Should have been the worst of our fears
The dream life luxury living was
A pleasant No 10 whim
But somewhere down the lines of production
They left out human beings
They were gonna build communities
It was going to be pie in the sky
But the piss stench hallways
And broken down lifts
Say the planners dream went wrong
If people were meant to live in boxes
God would have given them string
To tie around their selves at bed time
And stop their dreams falling
Through the ceiling
And the public school boy computers
Keep spewing out our future
The house in the country designs
The 14 th floor
Old Mrs smith don't get out much more
Coitus interruptus 'cause of next doors rows
Your washing gets nicked when
The lights go out
Baby's scream in the nightmare throng
But planners just get embarrassed when
Their plans GO WRONG!
The greatest of ideas
Giving them plans and money to squander
Should have been the worst of our fears
The dream life luxury living was
A pleasant No 10 whim
But somewhere down the lines of production
They left out human beings
They were gonna build communities
It was going to be pie in the sky
But the piss stench hallways
And broken down lifts
Say the planners dream went wrong
If people were meant to live in boxes
God would have given them string
To tie around their selves at bed time
And stop their dreams falling
Through the ceiling
And the public school boy computers
Keep spewing out our future
The house in the country designs
The 14 th floor
Old Mrs smith don't get out much more
Coitus interruptus 'cause of next doors rows
Your washing gets nicked when
The lights go out
Baby's scream in the nightmare throng
But planners just get embarrassed when
Their plans GO WRONG!
