[00:00.000]Middle-Class Heroes - The Divine Comedy
[00:02.450]Hello
[00:03.750]What have we here
[00:05.670]A young lady
[00:07.890]To what do I owe this pleasant surprise
[00:10.219]My pretty one
[00:12.369]How may I be of service this dark and wintry night
[00:17.219]Ah I see
[00:19.539]You wish me to look into the future
[00:22.928]Your future
[00:25.128]After GCSEs A-levels university
[00:31.558]After your first badly paid job in advertising
[00:36.268]Okay my pretty just cross my palm with plastic
[00:41.988]And I'll see what I can do
[00:44.778]Wait
[00:45.708]The fog is lifting
[00:47.558]I see oriental paper globes
[00:53.858]Hanging like decomposing cocoons
[01:00.378]While exotic candles overload
[01:06.008]The dusty air with their stale perfume
[01:11.707]And I see lentils beans seaweed and rice
[01:17.907]In jars on the windowsill
[01:24.006]And it ain't hardly enough to feed the mice
[01:29.845]Running behind the lines of allergy pills
[01:37.115]All these things will come to pass
[01:42.505]When heroes of the middle class
[01:48.305]Face up to their responsibilities
[01:59.525]I see an Indian fertility God
[02:06.134]He's got thirty seven limbs to spare
[02:12.294]And tasteless tie-dyed tablecloths
[02:17.884]That double up as evening wear
[02:23.823]And I see naked bodies twist and turn
[02:29.781]On the futon of dreams fulfilled
[02:35.839]But their three-year-old kid seems unconcerned
[02:41.809]He'd rather swallow all those allergy pills
[02:48.878]All these things will come to pass
[02:54.398]When heroes of the middle class
[03:00.166]Face up today and responsibility
[03:17.766]I see unspeakable vulgarity
[03:22.166]Institutionalised mediocrity
[03:25.246]Infinite tragedy
[03:27.176]Rise up little souls
[03:29.376]Join the doomed army
[03:31.316]Fight the good fight
[03:33.175]Wage the unwinnable war
[03:35.625]Elegance against ignorance
[03:37.925]Difference against indifference
[03:40.505]Wit against sh*t
[03:42.474]My words fly up to heaven
[03:48.253]My thoughts remain below
[03:55.063]Words said without feeling never to heaven go
[04:06.873]Never to heaven go
[04:12.023]Oh never to heaven go
[04:18.733]Never to heaven go
[04:42.853]All these things will come to pass
[04:48.223]When heroes of the middle class
[04:54.072]Face up repent and pay the price
[05:00.402]For accidentally creating life
[05:06.382]An oversight for which they must atone
[05:16.461]And sacrifice their own
