I don’t wanna be a bore  But I’ve just put in a new hot tub and your garden’s an eyesore’ No more nights as a suburbanite  I want my name in streetlights  I’m Big in the Suburbs! I’m Big in the Suburbs!  I’m Big in the Suburbs, Oh yes I am Big in the Suburbs Smack, bang, and the kids don’t stand a chance  Do the payroll, know the maypole like the back of their hands  Uncle Sam’s not a fan of the boys in the band  Banging pots and pans for Grandad’s Paco Rabane My cousins come in dozens but it doesn’t mean much to me  “Such fun”, hot cross Mums run in the family  Raise a glass to the class of merry memories Commemorating relatives in tessellating terraces, please… Sophie’s on the sofa so alone  She’s fallen in love with a game show host  The Chase was on, but it’s Pointless now  Wuh-oh! Don’t spend a lifetime looking for Heaven When you can find it on the A27 I’m Big in the Suburbs! I’m Big in the Suburbs!  I’m Big in the Suburbs, Oh yes I am Big in the Suburbs I’m Big in the Suburbs! (oh, oh…) I’m Big in the Suburbs! (oh, oh…) I’m Big in the Suburbs, (oh, oh…) Oh yes I am Big in the Suburbs Same dog, different God  Out of a catalogue  Trading places, saying graces, saving face just because  Different horses, same courses, caught in the traffic lights  Their bark is worse than their bites  I think we’re running out of time  (Are we running out of time…) And all their games are the same  And all their names are the same They all love playing the game  Throw me the ball for a change  Run through the rain for a train  Go off the rails again  ‘cos it will never ever ever ever ever ever change!  (Change.) It’s monarchy and poverty that makes Britain great  It’s property and proper tea and trains running late  The whole towns Tory but they’ve nationalised hate  A beautiful new estate named after farmland it’s replaced  “Civics, Eurythmics, Economics, Marx, How to respect wildlife in national parks, Plastics, Gymnastics, this they learn to scorn; the old thatched cottages in which they were born.” Well you can go, but you will always come around  There’s some people in this town you don’t  really see hanging around  Well it’s life going once, And it’s life going twice And that’s the price of life  when you are Big in the Suburbs! I’m Big in the Suburbs! I’m Big in the Suburbs, Oh yes I am Big in the Suburbs I’m Big in the Suburbs!  I’m Big in the Suburbs! I’m Big in the Suburbs,  Oh yes I am Big in the Suburbs (Oh, oh, oh-wuh-oh!) Go out and see the sights but let me know when you’ve gone, You’ll be back in 45, so  Put the kettle on!
