I left school and hit the high street
Had my youth in 6 weeks flat
Top shop, doves and Glastonbury
Learned to be a secretaryIf I can't have it, nobody can
You follow the instructions
It's all part of the plan
When you start as you mean to go onLet's get married, let's have children
Split up when we're 22
Cut our losses, screw our bosses
Get out while we're still youngIf I can't have it, nobody can
You follow the instructions
It's all part of the plan
When you start as you mean to go onParadise often falls apartHome improvements for amusement
Smash this place to smithereens
Don't forget to pay the premiums
Go abroad and leave the gas onIf I can't have it, nobody can
You follow the instructions
It's all part of the plan
When you start as you mean to go onWhen you start as you mean to go on
When you start as you mean to go on
