Matthew & Son

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 workin' 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 workin' all day, all day, all day He's got people who've been workin' for fifty years No one asks for more money 'cause nobody dares Even though they're pretty low and their rent's in arrears Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son And they've been workin' all day, all day, all day Matthew & Son Matthew & Son Matthew & Son Matthew & Son
