Old Timer

You're everything I wanna be and less

You work so hard but I try my best

And sometimes it's not good enough

But it's my best

I don't really want the foreman's job

Nor be a champagne socialist

I don't really want the nine five grind

Nor be a psychotherapist

Only seen my dad cry once and it was at the football (Old timer)

I think that says an awful lot about masculinity (Old timer)

I don't know how to build a wall

But they reckon I can rip off The Fall

I could write some words instead

Don't use cement, I use lead

I could hardly be the ideal bloke

I just ain't built for it

I don't wanna be the ideal bloke

What does it mean anyway?

Talk about your granddad shooting fascists down

How your old man built the houses in the market town

And you're just messing around

And you're just messing around
