[Verse 1] Saturday morning, retail kingdom Same six chains on every road Heritage plaque on a former factory Now it sells dreams in paper cups Car park queue for the garden center Kids on leashes, dads on phones Historic mill with a gift shop entrance Pay at the kiosk to feel at home [Chorus] So we watch the match We drink, we shout We walk around old houses 'til they kick us out 'Cause there’s nothing left that’s not for sale Flat whites and flagpoles This island’s up for retail [Verse 2] Coach trip dropped at the “village experience” Fresh-built bricks made to look worn down Audio guide for the old shipyard Where they priced the workers out of town They paved the field for a viewing platform Charge you extra for the better view Sold the soul of Sunday roasting For a logo and a loyalty card or two [Chorus] So we watch the match We drink, we shout We walk around old houses 'til they kick us out 'Cause there’s nothing left that’s not for sale Flat whites and flagpoles This island’s up for retail [Bridge] Is this it? Season ticket, day pass, wristband Every memory behind a rope Is this it? Pile of pints and printed leaflets Call it culture, call it hope (yeah) [Chorus] So we watch the match We drink, we shout We walk around old houses 'til they kick us out 'Cause there’s nothing left that’s not for sale Flat whites and flagpoles This island’s up for retail [Outro] Sunday night, same glow on the ceiling Sports recap on the late-night show Country’s got its face in the window Already tagged with a price below
