Start As You Mean To Go On - Black Box Recorder

I left school and hit the high street

Had my youth in six weeks flat

Top shelf dust and Glastonbury

Learnt to be a secretary

If 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 on

Let’s get married, let’s have children

Split up when we’re twenty two

Cut our losses, screw our bosses

Get out while we’re still young

If 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 on

Paradise often falls apart

Home improvements for amusement

Smash this place to smithereens

Don’t forget to pay the premiums

Go abroad, don’t leave the gas on

If 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 on

When you start as you mean to go on
