Lyrics

[00:36.96][John Pebble of Styx Enterprises]
[00:41.58] "Get 'em out by Friday!
[00:43.87] You don't get paid till the last one's well on his way.
[00:48.42] Get 'em out by Friday!
[00:50.56] It's important that we keep to schedule, there must be no delay."
[00:58.89][Mark Hall of Styx Enterprises (otherwise known as "The Winkler")]
[01:06.65] "I represent a firm of gentlemen who recently purchased this
[01:10.59] house and all the others in the road,
[01:14.05] In the interest of humanity we've found a better place for you
[01:17.90] to go, go-woh, go-woh"
[01:21.08][Mrs. Barrow (a tenant)]
[01:23.76] "Oh no, this I can't believe,
[01:29.38] Oh Mary, they're asking us to leave."
[01:36.55][Mr. Pebble]
[01:37.17] "Get 'em out by Friday!
[01:39.40] I've told you before, 's good many gone if we let them stay.
[01:44.12] And if it isn't easy,
[01:45.98] You can squeeze a little grease and our troubles will soon run away."
[01:53.81][Mrs. Barrow]
[02:03.11] "After all this time, they ask us to leave,
[02:10.35] And I told them we could pay double the rent.
[02:18.91] I don't know why it seemed so funny,
[02:26.47] Seeing as how they'd take more money.
[02:36.68] The winkler called again, he came here this morning,
[02:43.69] With four hundred pounds and a photograph of the place he has found.
[02:52.48] A block of flats with central heating.
[02:59.80] I think we're going to find it hard."
[03:02.93][Mr. Pebble]
[03:03.25] "Now we've got them!
[03:04.93] I've always said that cash cash cash can do anything well.
[03:10.03] Work can be rewarding
[03:11.62] When a flash of intuition is a gift that helps you
[03:15.92] excel-sell-sell-sell."
[03:20.62][Mr. Hall]
[03:28.54] "Here we are in Harlow New Town, did you recognise your block
[03:31.65] across the square, over there,
[03:35.69] Sadly since last time we spoke, we've found we've had to raise
[03:38.96] the rent again,
[03:41.16] just a bit."
[03:42.39][Mrs. Barrow]
[03:43.51] "Oh no, this I can't believe
[03:50.43] Oh Mary, and we agreed to leave."
[03:58.79] (a passage of time)
[06:01.10] 18/9/2012 T.V. Flash on all Dial-A-Program Services
[06:06.34] This is an announcement from Genetic Control:
[06:10.58] "It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on humanoid height."
[06:19.59][Extract from coversation of Joe Ordinary in Local Puborama]
[06:20.28] "I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the
[06:27.17] properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold.
[06:34.85] It's said now that people will be shorter in height,
[06:39.81] they can fit twice as many in the same building site.
[06:46.03] (they say it's alright),
[06:48.76] Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow,
[06:54.06] in the interest of humanity, they've been told they must go,
[07:00.08] told they must go-go-go-go."
[07:04.03][Sir John De Pebble of United Blacksprings International]
[07:25.40] "I think I've fixed a new deal
[07:27.75] A dozen properties - we'll buy at five and sell at thirty four,
[07:32.44] Some are still inhabited,
[07:34.41] It's time to send the winkler to see them,
[07:37.60] he'll have to work some more."
[07:41.99][Memo from Satin Peter of Rock Development Ltd.]
[07:55.03] With land in your hand, you'll be happy on earth
[08:02.95] Then invest in the Church for your heaven.
