Clifford T. Ward - All Modern Conveniences lyrics

Old fashioned she might be Dated like last year's pop-song Ageing like this year's calendar It's a wonder she can still raise a smile. But in spite of her pension Governments and Ascension Day She can. Her local vicar serves her "pie in the sky" While her M. P. talks about the policy for European entry In jargon she does not understand She's not interested She makes do, she says she's happy Talking of her late husband Who looks down from the mantlepiece She says she's happy Says she's happy Says she's happy Oh she says she's happy. INSTRUMENTAL She likes her television 'Crossroads', 'Coronation Street' And Robin Day's bow tie She likes the quiz shows Where people win a lot of money And that makes sense to her She likes to listen to the radio Music, Clifford T., She says he's nice He's flattered. Birth, marriage, d**h She needs the local newspaper Derek writes what she likes to read But they're knocking down her house now To build some more Knocking down her house now To build some more. She can read about it on the front page Or buy the same plot with new bricks For ten thousand pounds Central heating, separate dining room Detached garage All modern conveniences.
