[The Kinks - Scrapheap City lyrics]
Belle and The Floosies
(as Flash's empire is being
Dismantled piece by piece)
There ain't no beauty
And there ain't no style there's no quality
And there's no purity
Honour's dead and buried
Because it's unnecessary
Look at all the people
Why they all look the same
They're walking to the factory
In their cloth caps and trilbies
They've got no style ain't it a pity
They're tearing old quality down
Without any pity
Now they're coming to take me away
To Scrapheap City
They say that good manners belong on a heap
They say they're outdated
And they're obsolete
And now they're coming to take me away
To Scrapheap City
There's no quality and there ain't no style
Just miles and miles of Scrapheap piles
There's no quality and there's no purity
They're digging up all of the flowers
Because they look pretty
And erecting identical concrete monstrosities
They're killing off all of the animals too
The only ones left are the ones in the zoo
Now they're coming to take me away
To Scrapheap City ain't it a pity
Scrapheap City
(as Flash's empire is being
Dismantled piece by piece)
There ain't no beauty
And there ain't no style there's no quality
And there's no purity
Honour's dead and buried
Because it's unnecessary
Look at all the people
Why they all look the same
They're walking to the factory
In their cloth caps and trilbies
They've got no style ain't it a pity
They're tearing old quality down
Without any pity
Now they're coming to take me away
To Scrapheap City
They say that good manners belong on a heap
They say they're outdated
And they're obsolete
And now they're coming to take me away
To Scrapheap City
There's no quality and there ain't no style
Just miles and miles of Scrapheap piles
There's no quality and there's no purity
They're digging up all of the flowers
Because they look pretty
And erecting identical concrete monstrosities
They're killing off all of the animals too
The only ones left are the ones in the zoo
Now they're coming to take me away
To Scrapheap City ain't it a pity
Scrapheap City
