Start as You Mean to Go On
I left school and hit the high street
Had my youth in six weeks flat
Topshop, doves and Glastonbury
Learned to be a secretary
If I can't have it, nobody can
You follow the instructions
It's all part of the plan
When you start as you mean to go on
Let's get married, let's have children
Split up when we're twenty two
Cut our losses, screw our bosses
Get out while we're still young
If I can't have it, nobody can
You follow the instructions
It's all part of the plan
When you start as you mean to go on
Paradise often falls apart
Home improvements for amusement
Smash this place to smithereens
Don't forget to pay the premiums
Go abroad and leave the gas on
If I can't have it, nobody can
You follow the instructions
It's all part of the plan
When you start as you mean to go on
When you start as you mean to go on
