Paradise Estate

Mrs. Brown wakes up every morning

She takes the milk from her doorstep

Puts on a pair of faded carpet slippers

And walks a painful mile to the launderetteHer husband Jack is slowly dying

Asbestos poisoning had riddled his insides

He got his pension six years early

When they took away his job they took away his prideMrs. Wilson sets her clock for seven

To see the children off to school

She can't afford to give them breakfast

Well not as a ruleHer husband Jack has run away

Gone with the barmaid from the Roses' Crown

Picks up her prescription every Friday

She's heading for her second nervous breakdownJennifer Lee is only seventeen

She had a baby when she was still at school

Her parents have disowned her

And the social service barely callsThe father was a boy she met at a party

Her sister Debbie's twenty-first

She can't remember his face or his name very well

Anyway he probably doesn't remember herAnd every day's the same

On paradise estate

Because paradise came one day too lateWe all live in little boxes

Boxes made of bricks

Boxes for unmarried mothers

Elderly and sick

Graffiti on the walls

Tells it all

"Gary loves July"

National Front slogans

"Jesus is coming"

"Kilroy was here"But paradise came one day too late

On paradise estate

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
