Ray Davies - Scrapheap City lyrics

Sung by: Belle and The Floosies (as Flash's empire is being dismantled piece by piece) There ain't no beauty And there ain't no style There's no quality And there's no purity Honour's dead and buried Because it's unnecessary Look at all the people Why they all look the same They're walking to the factory In their cloth caps and trilbies They've got no style Ain't it a pity They're tearing old quality down Without any pity Now they're coming to take me away To Scrapheap City They say that good manners belong on a heap They say they're outdated and they're obsolete And now they're coming to take me away To Scrapheap City There's no quality And there ain't no style Just miles and miles Of Scrapheap piles There's no quality And there's no purity They're digging up all of the flowers Because they look pretty And erecting identical concrete monstrosities They're k**ing off all of the animals too The only ones left are the ones in the zoo Now they're coming to take me away To Scrapheap City Ain't it a pity Scrapheap City
