Thread Name: Do you like 'Little Boxes'?
Subject: RE: Do you like 'Little Boxes'?
Sorry guest I can only remember the first 2 verses

Take your Mary Baker City Mix and mix yourself a city to a plan,
Full of instant plastic palaces, homogenized, untouched by human hand.
Add a central plate glass precinct where pedestrians can stroll around and cry
As they see the blackened embers of an older and more richer city die.

In the Mary Baker City Mix the teak lined supermarkets meet your eyes
Where the open market stood you'll find the atmosphere is now deordorized
And the bacon buttie stall has disappeared and in its place you'll find a bar
With high speed brunch and crispy lettuce yoiu can eat from heat sealed wrappings in your car

BUT!

this is one of 25 songs on a CD SONGS VOL 1 & 2 Alex Glasgow (which I came across) while trying to find the rest of the words and contains such humourless leftie tracks as
As Soon As This Pub Closes
and
My Daddy Is A Left-Wing Intellectual

and, of course, Close The Coalhouse Door
