What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
"Credit Crunch" sounds like we made that name up for kids
2
To explain to them this where Father Christmas is
3
"I'm sorry, Timmy, but Santa couldn't come this year
4
Dr. Credit Crunch has trapped him up in Castle Fear"
5
"Billy Santa has been eaten by the Credit Cruncher
6
So you'll have to keep your old bike, I'll just repair the puncture"
7
Although I guess those fairy tales are really for the grown ups
8
So no one has to take the blame and no one has to own up
9
See as a nation we went and tried to live above our means
10
Had spending sprees and who was there accommodating these?
11
Over employed, over ambitious little companies
12
So now we'll suffer some unemployment and redundancies
13
And there ain't a solution,
14
Just a choice between some different evils
15
A choice to be made by those publicly elected people
16
Who will always make the wrong choice in someone's eyes?
17
But then I'm sure it can be sweetened with some tasteful lies
18
We either borrow more cash to keep our people spending
19
Stop the panic and stop the whole economy descending
20
Whilst still maintaining restraints on public lending
21
Although whether that'll work is still simply atheory pending
22
But it's either that or simply take away public resources
23
And start to charge for services already so exhausted
24
Americanize and risk the financial demise that Bush did
25
Which is certainly the rockier of both treacherous courses
26
But then I guess the answer probably won't be found inside
27
Some lyrics written by some lanky bearded guy
28
And now I must declare to those that have managed to listen
29
This is easily the most depressing verse I'veever written
30
I devastate
31
Nobody's getting off easy
32
Dominate
33
I'm on your mind and on the TV
34
Gimme the money and all
35
A pound of flesh and the checkbook
36
I dominate
37
Like a December-weather check-hook
38
Gimme what I can't afford
39
I'll borrow just a little more
40
I'll write my own reference
41
The banks are only glad to lend
42
They wouldn't if they shouldn't
43
But they do so I'll just go and spend
44
What's a subprime?
45
Why's it sound so threatening?
46
Everybody's chewing on the credit crunch
47
But I don't really get it, from what I read in The Sun
48
It said that now we own the banks, and that the bankers are punks
49
And, oh! That dude from X Factor with the bucktooth won!
50
Apparently we've been too materialistic
51
Things are gonna change, we're now all so-shall-is-tic?
52
Woolworths shut down!
53
Where will I go to shoplift liquorice?
54
Stop, listen, will this effect the cost of getting pissed?
55
If it does I'll just watch TV
56
It's not the source of our problems,
57
It's the cure and will stop them
58
You'll see home improvement, location speculation, take a loan, buy ahome, do it up and sell it on
59
Like it's a failsafe craze is sweeping the nation
60
Maybe I'll watch who wants to be a millionaire, no
61
How's about I've got low credit, please get me out of here
62
So I go for a stroll and some fresh air
63
Not think about shopping, but oh, a stocking, right, X-Mas is here
64
Bright lights inviting me to buy nice bits I'll hold dear
65
I mean for those I hold dear, that looks nice, oh dear
66
I don't open final notice envelopes no more for fear
67
Of what they'll say, but what the hey, I deserve some winter cheer
68
When the barcode bleeps and I hear "Enter PIN Here"ย
69
My head lights up with the foresight of a blinded deer
70
When the barcode bleeps and I hear "Enter PIN Here"
71
My head lights up with the sight of a blinded deer
72
Bankers been trading our debts
73
At ratings that were too inflated
74
And it's shameless
75
'Cause we knew I would never make those repayments
76
But pointing the finger's pointless
77
Homeowners or city bonus
78
We were in the same sinking boat just gorging on oysters
79
Now the pearls turned gritty just sit back and enjoy it
80
We're losing jobs but now we're watching our costsrenewables are taking off
81
There's a left wing again
82
And thanks to the crunch, we've even got a black president
83
I devastate
84
Nobody's getting offeasy
85
Dominate
86
I'm on your mind and on the TV
87
Gimme the money and all
88
A pound of flesh and the checkbook
89
I dominate
90
Like a December-weather check-hook
