[01:31.92] I've been taking my time for a long time
[01:35.42] Putting my feet up a lot
[01:39.22] Speaking English as a foreign language
[01:42.78] Any words that I haven't forgot
[01:46.89] I've been thinking how I can't be bothered
[01:50.26] To wash the dishes or remake the bed
[01:54.13] What's the point when I could dust instead?
[02:01.71] I've been hanging out with various riffraff
[02:05.58] Somewhere on the Goldhawke Road
[02:09.14] I don't think it's gonna be much longer
[02:12.51] Till I'm mugging up on the penal codes
[02:19.94] So I've given up on the bourgeoisie
[02:24.12] Like all their aspirations, it's a fantasy
[02:31.38] When you walked out you did me a favor
[02:34.88] You made me see reality
[02:38.99] That love is a bourgeois construct
[02:42.36] It's a blatant fallacy
[02:46.23] You won't see me with a bunch of roses
[02:50.41] Promising fidelity
[02:54.90] Love doesn't mean a thing to me
[03:01.58] Talking tough and feeling bitter
[03:08.57] We're better now, it's clear to me
[03:15.93] That love is a bourgeois construct
[03:23.23] So I've given up the bourgeoisie
[03:30.91] Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
[03:46.32] While the bankers all get their bonuses
[03:49.25] I'll just get along with what I've got
[03:53.43] Watching the weeds in the garden
[03:57.18] Putting my feet up a lot
[04:00.55] I'll explore the outer limits of boredom
[04:04.61] Moaning periodically
[04:08.10] Just a full-time lonely lay about
[04:11.59] That's me
[04:15.71] When you walked out you did me a favor
[04:19.45] It's absolutely clear to me
[04:23.26] That love is a bourgeois construct
[04:26.45] Just like they said at university
[04:30.50] I've been taking my time for a long time
[04:33.93] With all the schadenfreude it's cost
[04:38.37] Calculating what you've lost
[04:45.48] Now I'm digging through my student paper bags
[04:49.35] Flicking through Karl Marx again
[04:52.97] Searching for the soul of England
[04:56.27] Drinking tea like Tony Benn
[05:00.39] Love is just a bourgeois construct
[05:03.64] So I'm giving up the bourgeoisie
[05:07.38] Until you come back to me
[05:22.48] Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
[06:07.64] Talking tough and feeling bitter
[06:14.99] We're better now, it's clear to me
[06:22.11] That love is a bourgeois construct
[06:29.42] So I've given up the bourgeoisie
