Matthew & Son

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
