[Verse 1] Every high street Same sad shopfronts "Luxury grooming" Gold on the font Tiny salon Velour on the chairs Dog in a bow tie Nobody cares Half the time It’s empty inside Still they “fully booked” On the little sign Backdoor light On every night Card machine “broken” Cash only Alright [Chorus] If the price of a Freddo’s up again I know we’re doomed My friend Count your coins That’s the only trend that matters When the frog gets dearer every year You feel the panic in your ears Freddos and doggy parlours Tell you what it costs to be here [Verse 2] Round the corner Another one opens "Pet spa" polished Curtains unbroken Same fake marble Same diffused spray Dog walks in Wallet walks away Nation of frogs On a chocolate shelf Measuring life In pennies of melt Used to be ten Then thirty-five Now I need a loan Just to feel alive (hey!) [Pre-Chorus] I don’t trust the numbers on the news I watch the prices in the queue [Chorus] If the price of a Freddo’s up again I know we’re doomed My friend Count your coins That’s the only trend that matters When the frog gets dearer every year You feel the panic in your ears Freddos and doggy parlours Tell you what it costs to be here [Bridge] They say "Don’t look behind that door" I say "What you hiding for?" Poodle comes out smelling rich Owner comes out three jobs deep in debt [Chorus] If the price of a Freddo’s up again I know we’re doomed My friend Count your coins That’s the only trend that matters When the frog gets dearer every year You feel the panic in your ears Freddos and doggy parlours Tell you what it costs to be here [Outro] Doggy day spa on every street Chocolate frog as a housing sheet When a tiny bar can break the bank You know the country’s frankly Blank
