Lyrics
He's a fine example of the bourgeoisie Watch his little finger when he drinks his tea He like to dress smart casual and sip chablis He'll be killed by pretence and insecurity She's a fine example of the working class Likes a drink or two she's a natural gas Dodgy cash exchanged for a boarding pass Don't trust anyone from the bottom of her glass Let's toast the happy couple in everything they do One hung up on status and one strung up unscrewed Let's toast the happy couple And wish them both good luck Let's watch the happy couple together come unstuck He's a paid up member of the status quo His self-important swagger with mortgages in tow If you're not like him then you're a cut below His life is built on quicksand and it's all for show She's afraid of everyone that's not like her She castigates the other with a sneering slur Thinks her motives and her madness are the same elsewhere Can't see beyond the nightmares waiting to recur Let's toast the happy couple as they sink or swim He's got her for company and all she has is him Let's toast the happy couple in the lives that time forgot Time to get on with our futures now and leave them both to rot
