Matthew and Son lyrics

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 o' 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 'cause 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!

Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son

Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son
