Fizzle

There's no money for entertainment
For flashing lights in the sky
The cash for Catherine Wheels has gone
The Rocket fund run dry

No sparklers lit for tiny hands
Out of toffee apples on sticks
We can no longer afford to celebrate
There's no one to pay for our kicks

As a country it seems we've fizzled out
With no spark to light a fuse
As the age of austerity bites harder and harder
You wonder what else we'll lose
