Matthew & Son

Up at eight, you can't be late For Matthew and Son, he won't wait Watch them run down to platform one And the eight-thirty train to Matthew and Son Matthew and 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 and 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 'cause nobody cares Even though they're pretty low and their rent's in arrears Matthew and Son, Matthew and Son Matthew and Son, Matthew and Son And they've been working all day, all day, all day! Matthew and Son, Matthew and Son Matthew and Son, Matthew and Son
