Up at eight, you can't be late
|
|
for Matthew & Son, he won't wait.
|
|
Watch them run down to platform one
|
And the eight-thirty train to Matthew & Son.
|
|
Matthew & Son, the work's never done,
|
there's always something new.
|
The files in your head, you take them to bed,
|
you're never ever through.
|
And they've been working all day,
|
all day, all day!
|
|
There's a five minute break and that's all you take,
|
for a cup of cold coffee and a piece of cake.
|
|
Matthew & Son, the work's never done,
|
there's always something new.
|
The files in your head, you take them to bed,
|
you're never ever through.
|
And they've been working all day,
|
all day, all day!
|
|
He's got people who've been working for fifty years
|
No one asks for more money cuz nobody cares
|
Even though they're pretty low and their rent's in arrears
|
|
Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son,
|
Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son,
|
And they've been working all day,
|
all day, all day!
