my money's on my concentration.
increasing my house price through inflation.
moving up taxation bands, how this affects my pension plan.
if this rise stops you'd understand - I'm down the social' cap in hand.
Upward bound,
the price it was,
Upward bound,
Home where the cash is waiting
Home where my bank is saying,
Home repossesion waiting
'long with bankruptcy

Ev'ry day read the F.T.
the Daily Mail, it tortures me
the end of the house boom is seen, in every article it seems
that everybodies place will be, worth thousands less this time next week
Upward bound,
I wish it was,
Upward bound,
Home where the cash is waiting
Home where my bank is saying,
Home repossesion waiting
'long with bankruptcy

Tonight I'll ring the bank again,
lie about the cheque I sent.
But all the bills go up you see, in raises of sheer lunacy
recession and redundancy, I need someone to comfort me.
Upward bound,
The price it was,
Upward bound,
Home where the bills are waiting
Home the Lottery's playing,
Home repossesion's waiting
Silently for me.
Silently for me.
