Some wasted time
Watching cars go down the line
You hide your face
This town is not a friendly place
And the days are long, and the nights are cold
And this cheap routine is getting kind of old
And the days are long, and the nights are cold
So cold
Council house king, don't you lose your hold
All your tarnished brass will turn to gold
Don't lose it now
You won't lose it now
Don't lose it now
You won't lose it now
And the morning screams
It wakes you from your hopeful dreams
On your dead end street
Of power lines and cracked concrete
And the days are long, and the nights are cold
And this cheap routine is getting kind of old
And your mind's made up, you will not be sold
Be sold
Council house king, don't you lose your hold
All your tarnished brass will turn to gold
Council house king, you will not be cold
Never will you let yourself be sold
Don't lose it now
You won't lose it now
Don't you lose it now
You can't lose it now
And the days are long
And the nights go on and on
You've lost your faith in god above
To grey skies that you've come to love and now
What have you come to expect?
As you pull on your last cigarette well
Council house king I say bless your soul
You'll be just fine now
Council house king, don't you lose your hold
All your tarnished brass will turn to gold
Council house king, you will not be cold
Never will you let yourself be sold
Don't lose it now (you'll be just fine now)
You won't lose it now (you'll be just fine now)
Don't you lose it now (you'll be just fine now)
You can't lose it now (you'll be just fine now)
