Verse
The Thames and the Mersey, the Tyne and the Wear and the Clyde
They spew slums like gravy on the banks of the poisonous tide
They washed up a pale thin girl, alone in her ivory tower
Scratching her skin with the thorns that grow on the stems of the wild flowers
Chorus
What became of the lover in you
Beat the swine black and blue
You and I, me and you
What became of the lover in you
What became of the working class
Nike, Reebok, Adidas,
Scratch cards, pimples, ecstasy
Hooray for the 21st Century (5x)
