Goldwatch Blues |
I went up for my interview on the 4th day of July |
The personnel man he questioned me, until I nearly cried |
Made me fill in forms, until I shook with fear |
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousins queer |
Here’s your gold watch and the shackles for your chains |
And your piece of paper, to say you left here sane |
And if you’ve a son who wants a good career |
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for 50 years |
He asked me how many jobs id had before |
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered four |
Four jobs of 20 years or more, this can never be |
We only take on men, who work on until they die |
Here’s your gold watch and the shackles for your chains |
And your piece of paper, to say you left here sane |
And if you’ve a son who wants a good career |
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for 50 years |
He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line |
This is where we bury them, in quickstone and in lime |
And if you’re going to work for us, this you must agree |
That if you’re going to die, please do it during tea break |
Here’s your gold watch and the shackles for your chains |
And your piece of paper, to say you left here sane |
And if you’ve a son who wants a good career |
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for 50 years |
This story that you’ve hear, you may think rather queer |
But it is the truth you’ll be surprised to hear |
I did not want some job up on the board |
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor |
