lyrics

Visions of domestic bliss
Must they all come down to this
Comet or John Lewis
Indesit or Bosch
Football games on dead-end streets
City suits ad party pleats
Nights between white satin sheets
All end in the wash

Round and round and round and round
Inside out and upside down
Lightly soiled we spin around
Our revolving drum

Keep the colours from the whites
Choose the cycle that’s right
Right-wing think tanks must delight
In wash care instructions
Woe betide the laundry maid
Who would let her colours fade
Crumpled shirts and beds unmade
Line the road to destruction

Once upon another time
Monday was washing time
Women by the river side
Scrubbed the stains away
Now we’re all electrified
Brains bleached by the sun and tide
Conditioned, tumble-dried
Is this us today?
