Scrapheap City Lyrics

    Sung by: belle and the floosies
    (as flash's empire is being dismantled piece by piece)

    There ain't no beauty
    And there ain't no style,
    There's no quality
    And there's no purity.
    Honour's dead and buried
    Because it's unnecessary.

    Look at all the people,
    Why they all look the same.
    They're walking to the factory
    In their cloth caps and trilbies.
    They've got no style,
    Ain't it a pity.

    They're tearing old quality down
    Without any pity,
    Now they're coming to take me away
    To scrapheap city.
    They say that good manners belong on a heap,
    They say they're outdated and they're obsolete,
    And now they're coming to take me away
    To scrapheap city.

    There's no quality
    And there ain't no style
    Just miles and miles
    Of scrapheap piles.
    There's no quality
    And there's no purity.
    They're digging up all of the flowers
    Because they look pretty
    And erecting identical concrete monstrosities.
    They're killing off all of the animals too,
    The only ones left are the ones in the zoo.
    Now they're coming to take me away
    To scrapheap city.
    Ain't it a pity,
    Scrapheap city.
