<\/span>
\nI spend my time in coffee bars<\/span>
\nCos that’s where all my friends go to.<\/span>
\nIt’s somewhere warm where you can get –<\/span>
\na cup of coffee and a view<\/span>
\nof waitresses draws, if you’re not too poor! <\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n(Chorus)<\/span>
\nWouldn’t it be nice if coffee bars<\/span><\/i>
\nwere like they were in Greenwich Village,<\/span><\/i>
\nwith folk guitars and a cool, cool atmosphere,<\/span><\/i>
\n‘stead of Breadhead; shit; plastic fooded Wimpy bars!.<\/span><\/i>
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nI spend my time in public bars<\/span>
\ncos that’s where all my friends go to.<\/span>
\nThe Golden Cross and the Dive Bar,<\/span>
\nNot to mention all the rest<\/span>
\nThey’re not cool cos they’re all<\/span>
\nBreadhead, big scowls, cop-prowls, shit beer, booze Brothels!<\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nI spend my time in discotheques,<\/span>
\nin crowded little beer bar rooms,<\/span>
\nor in the poly tech, where you can hear the sweet sweet sounds of<\/span>
\nLed a Zeppalin; Blackfoot Sue; Hi Ella Guru!;<\/span>
\n‘Slam it to mee<\/i>‘ Slade and all the other groovy things<\/span>
\nthe DJ’s like to play.<\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nWouldn’t it be nice if we had some nice places to go,<\/span><\/i>
\nto call our own,<\/span><\/i>
\nwhere money was only a means to an end<\/span><\/i>
\nand not given to the millionaires to spend.<\/span><\/i>
\nWhere we could have a groovy time<\/span><\/i>
\nand do the things we’d really love to do.<\/span><\/i>
\n
<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\n(An optional verse was, (depending on how pissed the singer was!!)<\/span>
\nI spend my time in public loos<\/span>
\nCos that’s where one just has to goo!<\/span>
\nSitting in a cubical<\/span>
\nwhen one has one’s bellyfull<\/span>
\nof shit like this!<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n…..<\/span>
