Oh bright new day
We're movin' away
We're startin' all over again
Oh Bright new day
We're going away
Where nobody's
heard of our name
Where we can begin again
Feel we can win and then
Live just like livin' should be
Got a new situation
A new destination
And no reputation following me
We're getting out
We're movin' house
We're starting all over again
We're leavin' this mess
For our new address
Sixty five Skelmersdale Lane
The air is so pure
You get drunk just by breathing
And the washing stays
clean on the line
Where there's space for the kids
The garden's so big
It would take you a week
Just to reach the far side
Come on Mickey Sammy
now you've all gorra help 'em
excuse us
we've gorra pack
We're movin' away
Just pack the bags
We're leavin' the rags
The wobbly wardrobe
Chest of drawers that never close
The two legged chair
the carpet so bare
You wouldn't see it
if it wasn't for the holes
Now that we're movin'
Now that we're improvin'
Let's just
wash our hands of this lot
For it's no longer fitting
for me to be sitting
On a sofa I know for a fact
was knocked off
We might get a car
Be all 'lahdie dah'
An' go drivin' out to the sands
At the weekend
A gentleman friend
Might take me dancing
To the local bands
We'll have a front room
And then if it should happen
That His Holiness files
in from Rome
He can sit there with me
Eating toast drinking tea
In the sort of surroundings
That reimind him of home
We're gettin' out
we're movin' house
We're goin' away
Gettin' out today
We're movin' movin' movin'
movin' movin' house
We're goin' away
oh bright new day
