All Modern Conveniences Lyrics - Singles - Clifford T Ward

Old fashioned she might be 

Dated like last year's pop-song 

Ageing like this year's calendar 

It's a wonder she can still raise a smile. 

But in spite of her pension 

Governments and Ascension Day 

She can. 

Her local vicar serves her "pie in the sky" 

While her M. P. talks about the policy for European entry 

In jargon she does not understand 

She's not interested 

She makes do, she says she's happy 

Talking of her late husband 

Who looks down from the mantlepiece 

She says she's happy 

Says she's happy 

Says she's happy 

Oh she says she's happy. 

INSTRUMENTAL 

She likes her television 

'Crossroads', 'Coronation Street' 

And Robin Day's bow tie 

She likes the quiz shows 

Where people win a lot of money 

And that makes sense to her 

She likes to listen to the radio 

Music, Clifford T., She says he's nice 

He's flattered. 

Birth, marriage, death 

She needs the local newspaper 

Derek writes what she likes to read 

But they're knocking down her house now 

To build some more 

Knocking down her house now 

To build some more. 

She can read about it on the front page 

Or buy the same plot with new bricks 

For ten thousand pounds 

Central heating, separate dining room 

Detached garage 

All modern conveniences.
