Family Outing Lyrics - Singles - Fitzgerald Patrik

You've been taken for the fools you are 

There's no more money at the bottom of the purse 

Black looks at the breakfast table 

Life goes on from bad to worse 

Saving up to take the kids to Whipsnade 

We'll have a whale of a time 

Get your ticket on the family cheap-rate 

Fate dictates you - travel by rail 

You got a card 

As compensation for your scars 

Now you can go anywhere, anytime 

Fate dictates you - stay right there 

There's somebody's body 

On the railway line 

The little hands 

That clawed at your arm 

They didn't mean to 

Do you any harm 

But they didn't want to listen 

When you tried to explain 

All they kept saying 

Was "where's the train?" 

Lose your temper in a fit of anger 

Lose your wife and your children too 

All the lies in the lines of postcards 

Trying to cover up 

What you've been going through 

Is that the meaning of 'love'? 

Is that the purpose of marriage? 

To keep you squabbling 

To keep you fighting 

Locked in gas bills 

Heating....lighting... 

You've been taken for the fools you are 

There's no more money at the bottom of the purse. 

No more money at the bottom of the purse 

No more money at the bottom of the purse 

(ad infinitum)
