The winter of discontent's nearing. Thatchers got trouble with her hearing. The voices of many are going unheard. I'd try to laugh if it wasn't absurd.
Job chances seem very thin. It's a losing battle we must all win. The C.B.I. are winning keep down the pay. Mysterious people calling early in the day.
I run a shop upon the hill. I give out orders at my will. People do as they're told. Till the day that they're old. Apart from the work, life's a toss.
3000 miles is a long way to go. To be beaten by a dwarf in Mexico. He was an aged cheat who didn't give a damn. Couldn't use his head so used his hand.
Half past 5 I'm in the pub. Six O'clock it's home for grub. Eight O'clock I'm back to the bar. Sod the walk I'll take the car. . [Chorus:]. Knock it back.
Spend spend spend is the line to take. Keep on buying it's no mistake. Get what you want whenever you can. Cause Mr. Bank Manager's a nice ol' man. . When your flexible friend just don't want to know.
