Your local pub got shut down
You didn't go elsewhere
The world - it started shrinking
We thought you'd disappeared

Your local got closed down
You'd never go elsewhere

Meet up at the meat raffle

Familiar faces everywhere

You went out to work
To do the shop
You sometimes went to Weatherspoons
Finished off with a kebab

You read the Spoons magazine
The "UK's most popular political mag"
Never read Orwell's "Animal Farm"
Focus on the flag - not sleeping bags

The pubs are shutting down
The walls are closing in
You need really to get out more
But there's no room at the inn
