Don't lecture me on stocks and bonds, honey, I wanna be unaware of it all
Our copper pot boils on the stove, so we wait, haven't got no plugs at home
I want to live in an old-fashioned world where the family comes first and the money doesn't
Matter, and we live a life so full of delight, so ma-ve-luz, ma-ve-luz
You on my right hand, takes me aside and kisses me
Our taxes still, relieve the chill from the aristo's chambers, what shame do we live
Council estates, oh, what a place, Vinyamar never seemed so far away
I want to live in an old-fashioned world where the family comes first and the money doesn't matter, and
We live a life so full of delight, so ma-ve-luz, ma-ve-luz
She, on my right hand, takes me aside and kisses me
Sometimes I feel so lonely, I feel these things dissolve me, it doesn't have to be this way
Take the boat to Avalon another day
