| 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 & 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 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 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 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 and Son, Matthew and Son
|
| Matthew and Son, Matthew and Son
|
| And they’ve been workin' all day, all day, all day
|
| Matthew and Son
|
| Matthew and Son
|
| Matthew and Son
|
| Matthew and Son |
