Roses (3:25) Lyrics - Singles - Kershaw Nik

make it plastic make it pay 

use it up and throw away 

make another just the same, more or less 

burn our time down to size 

send it up into the skies 

hide the evidence with lies, what a mess 

but we've just come from a meeting 

and we're sure you'd like to know 

there'll be deep blue skies and clear blue waters 

everywhere you go 

'cos everything's coming up roses 

or so they tell you 

coming up smelling of roses 

or so they say 

yes everything's coming up roses 

or so they tell you 

coming up smelling of roses 

or so they say 

in the name of energy 

we give our problems to the sea 

but they'll be back for you and me 

in or haste, we forget 

leaving our mistakes behind 

out of sight is out of mind 

our disposable mankind 

what a waste 

but we've talked to the experts 

and they know a thing or two 

they say it's all hunky dory 

there's nothing for you to do 

'cos everything's coming up roses 

or so they tell you 

coming up smelling of roses 

or so they say 

yes everything's coming up roses 

or so they tell you 

coming up smelling of roses 

or so they say 

but it's an awful price to pay 

believing everything they say 

here tomorrow gone today 

so take me home to the red red skies and the 

brown, brown grass and the black, black seas 

and the broken glass and the dead, dead trees 

but everything's coming up roses 

or that's what they tell you 

'cos everything's coming up roses 

or so they tell you 

coming up smelling of roses 

or so they say 

yes everything's coming up roses 

or so they tell you 

coming up smelling of roses 

or so they say 

'cos everything's coming up roses
