Richard Thompson - Time To Ring Some Changes Ii lyrics

This old house is a-tumbling down The walls are gone but the roof is sound The landlord's deaf, he can never be found It's time to ring some changes They'll arrest you son if you just stand still They'll ask you to pose with your hand in the till They'll ask you to die when you've written your will It's time to ring some changes It's time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes O the politicians they look so smug You say tell the truth and they give you a shrug You might find the truth swept under the rug It's time to ring some changes You pay for your money for your daily bread But the bread's gone up so you need more money The money's gone down, better borrow instead It's time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes O you fall in love with the girl you've seen Diamond studded on a tv screen But the change in your pocket won't buy you a dream It's time to ring some changes So you steal a car and you go for a ride You end up sleeping with some girl guide And everything you do leaves you empty inside It's time to ring some change Time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes Time to ring some changes
