Lyrics

In pearl city
Pearl city
No-one knows, no-one cares
About your world of stocks and shares

I don't need no riding crop
I don't need no roundabout stop

You're welcome to pearl city

See the bank
Bright white trains
You old coots
Retired early

At pearl city
In pearl city

Cappuccino and a slice of quiche
It's salad for the new educated 'teach'
Everything is gonna work out fine
They're sleepin' us in the lec-lecturer line
In pearl city

In pearl city

Ye over-counter drugs
Have left you totally bushwhacked

In pearl city

We asked vauxhall drivers
What they wanted from a garage
Did ya? did ya?

At service center on the rock

Pearl city

I don't need a bird beggin at my knees
I don't need no riding crop
I don't need no roundabout stop

(Are you on the ball?)
