Matthew & Son (Stereo Version)

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 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 working all day all day all day

He's got people who've been working for fifty years

No one asks for more money cuz 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
