Five miles out of London on the Western Avenue
Must have been a wonder when it was brand new
Talkin' 'bout the splendor of the Hoover factory
I know that you'd agree if you had seen it too

It's not a matter of life or death
But what is, what is?
It doesn't matter if I take another breath
Who cares? Who cares?

Green for go, green for action, from Park Royal to North Acton
Past scrolls and inscriptions like those of the Egyptian age
( From: http://www.elyrics.net )
And one of these days the Hoover factory
Is gonna be all the rage in those fashionable pages

Five miles out of London on the Western Avenue
Must have been a wonder when it was brand new
Talkin' 'bout the splendor of the Hoover factory
I know that you'd agree if you had seen it too

It's not a matter of life or death
But what is, what is?
It doesn't matter if I take another breath
Who cares? Who cares?
