Living in These Hard Times (2003 Remaster) - Jethro Tull
The bombs in the China
The fats in the fire
Theres no turkey left on the table
The commuters return on the six oclock flyer
Brings no bale of hay for the stable
Well the light
It is failing along the green belt
As we follow the hard road signs
Semi detached in our suburban ness
Were living in these hard times
Well the flys in the milk and the cats in the stew
Another bun in the oven
Oh what to do
Well laugh and well sing and try to bring
A pound from your pocket
Good day to you
Oh these hard times
The politicians sat on the wall
And traded with the union game
Someone slapped a writ on our deficit
Not a penny left to our name
Oh the times are hard and the credits lean
And they toss and they turn in sleep
And the line they take is the line they make
But it's not the line they keep
Well the flys in the milk and the cats in the stew
Another bun in the oven
Oh what to do
Well laugh and well sing and try to bring
A pound from your pocket
Good day to you
Oh these hard times
The cow jumped over yesterdays moon
And the lock ran away with the key
You know what you like
And you like what you know
But there is no jam for tea
Well the light it is failing along the green belt
As we follow the hard road signs
Semi detached in our suburban ness
Were living in these hard times
Well the flys in the milk and the cats in the stew
Another bun in the oven
Oh what to do
Well laugh and well sing and try to bring
A pound from your pocket
Good day to you
Oh these hard times
Oh well a on these hard time
