Lyrics

I got a letter this morning with serious news that's gone and ruined my day
The borough surveyor's used compulsory purchase to acquire my domaine
They're gonna pull up the floors, they're gonna knock down the walls
They're gonna dig up the drains

Here come the people in grey they're gonna take me away to lord knows where
But I'm so unprepared I got no time to pack and I got nothing to wear
Here come the people in grey
To take me away

Me and my baby's gonna get on a train that's gonna take us away
I'm gonna live in a tent, we're gonna pay no more rent we're gonna pay no more rates
We're gonna live in a field, we're gonna buy me gun, to keep the policemen away

I'm gonna pass me a brand new resolution
I'm gonna fight me a one man revolution, someway
Gonna beat those people in grey
But here come the people in grey
To take me away

The people in grey have gone and taken away my right to voice my complaint
Her majesty's government have sent me a form I must complete it today
But it's making me blue, don't wanna tell all my secrets to
The people in grey

I'm gonna pass me a brand new resolution
I'm gonna fight me a one man revolution, someway
Gonna start my rebellion today
But here come the people in grey
To take me away

Oh, lord, those people in grey
I gotta get back at those people in grey
Here come the people in grey
To take me away
