The myopic old optician couldn't see how he would fail
The baker stayed too long and ended mouldering and stale
The vet's been put to sleep, it's sat there empty for a year
The barbers blades are blunted now, but we're still here
We're still here
We watched the florist wilt, and wane, and weather into dust
The bank was in the red, lost all it's savings, and went bust
At the bookies all the bets are off, the winner is unclear
And the pharmacy has overdosed, but we're still here
We're still here
The street ran out of charity so Oxfam doors are closed
The surgery was euthanised as soon as diagnosed
The letting agents lost their lease, their rent was in arrears
And the j**elers lost it's sparkle now, but we're still here
We're still here
They used to sell cool trainers, but the custom ran away
The travel agents taken an extended holiday
Even the old job centre now seeks a new career
The greengrocer decayed and spoiled, but we're still here
We're still here
The tea-rooms fortune floundered out once they gave us diarrhoea
And the chain store's polished off the independent pizzeria
The home designer showroom died behind that cracked veneer
The bookshop's long been out of print, but we're still here
We're still here
The undertakers pa**ed away their ghost still haunts the street
The butchers decomposed like all his putrid rotten meat
The chippy fried, the laundrette dried, the boozers sunk it's beer
The electricians blown a fuse, but we're still here
We're still here
We're still here
