Don’t know what I’m doing here They look alright to me A typical example of Lower middle-class respectability But scratch beneath the surface Look closer and I find That this young lad’s in trouble Gotta get into his mind What’s happening in this family Things just ain’t what they seem All fur coat and no knickers Disguised as a tangerine dream In his room I talk to him He’s holding something back Tells me that everything’s cushty A tough little nut to crack The “rents” they cast their judgement Saying he’s the one to blame Absolved themselves of responsibility Don’t they feel no shame? What’s happening in this family Things just ain’t what they seem All fur coat and no knickers Disguised as a tangerine dream In him I sense a yearning To know what’s true and just For a place of care and safety And boundaries a must But what happens when he gets there Will he embrace or just reject Want back the only thing he knows A place of no respect What’s happening in this family Things just ain’t what they seem All fur coat and no knickers Disguised as a tangerine dream What’s happening in this family Things just ain’t what they seem All fur coat and no knickers Disguised as a tangerine dream All fur coat and no knickers Disguised as a tangerine dream All fur coat and no knickers Disguised as a tangerine dream
