Lyrics and translation

Original

Did you get the job and did they use your song?

Did you find somewhere nice to call your home?

Look after yourself

Good health is wealth

And now we say words that we never believed we'd say

The monsters of Pig Alley say

Why don't you give it some rest and come back home?

We're drab and we moan

But we're all your own

And we love you

Did you meet the star makers and the leg breakers?

And what difference is there between the two?

But what would you do

If the dream came true?

And now we say words that we never believed we'd say

The monsters of Pig Alley say

Why don't you pack it in and come back home?

We're not sophisticated

We're overweight and dated

But we love you

We love you

Now the phone goes unanswered in your room

When you've tasted fame nothing else will do

Body found on open ground

And now we say words that we never believed we'd say

The monsters of Pig Alley say

Why don't you pack it in and come back home?

The higher you climb

The less you find
