作曲：Neil Tennant / Chris Lowe / Henry Purcell
I've been taking my time for a long time
Putting my feet up all odds
Speaking English as a foreign language
Any words that I haven't forgot
I've been thinking how I can't be bothered
To wash the dishes or remake the bed
What's the point when I could just... instead?
?
I've been hanging as a fairy trif raf
Somewhere along the go hobrose
I don't think it's gonna be much longer
So I know they're up, harlequin old codes
?
So I've given up on the bourgeoisie
Like all their aspirations, it's a fantasy
?
When you walked out you did me a favor
You made me see reality
This love is a bourgeois construct
It's a blame turn to fallacy
You won't see me with a bunch of losers
Promising fatality
?
Love doesn't mean a thing to me
Talking tough as we linger
We're better now, it's clear to me
?
So I've given up on the bourgeoisie
?
While we're anchored forget the voices
I'll just get along with what I've got
Watching the weeds in the garden
Putting my fear upon odds
?
I'll explore the outer limits of boredom
Moaning periodically
Drift a far time, lonely lay about
That's me
?
When you walked out you did me a favor
It's absolutely clear to me
That love is a bourgeois construct
Just like they said at university
?
I've been taking my time for a long time
With all the shadow and forever its cost
Calculating what you've lost
?
Now I'm digging through my student paper bags
Flicking through Karl Marx again
Searching for the soul of England
Drinking tea like Tony Benn
?
Love is just a bourgeois construct
So give it up, the bourgeoisie
Until you come back to me
?
Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie
?
Talking tough and feeling bitter
We're better now, it's clear to me
That love is a bourgeois construct
So I've given up the bourgeoisie
