The village green is soaking wet
Broken arms around a tender neck
You can hear them talking in the street
Over children's cries and scuffled feet
Chaos so perfect it seems plastic
Mr Fucking meets Mr Fantastic
Corbyn smiling at the cover of a drain
Standing naked in the rain
Ray Davies can you weave us a dream?
Of warm baked scones and clotted cream
Tell us now what it really means
What does it mean? What does anything mean?
Ray Davies, Ray Davies weave us a dream!
Tell us what it means, what it means
'Cos I'm standing in the rain, and I'm looking at the drain
But it doesn't feel the same, it doesn't look the same?
As Corbyn in the rain, Corbyn in the rain
He's looking at the drain, but I do not see the same
Mr Fucking meets Mr Fantastic
I feel numb, I feel plastic
Tell me what it means, Ray is this what you weaved?
Is this the dream? Did you weave it for me?
Why is he smiling? Why is he smiling?
Ray, why has it gone this way?
Take it all away
Take it away, take it away, take it away, Ray!
