Nobody knows what it's like to be
the man who rents out deck chairs in Battersea
or his wife at the factory
who's in a sweat
again her paperwork escalates
she's always had a problem losing weight
she's lost ten pounds on her latest diet
whys no one noticed yet?
Some make bread some make steel
some make silk, some steering wheels
but we have a common bond
we don't like to be wrong
but we like to belong
all in a days work respectively
it's either nine till five
or five till three
all in a days work respectively
I'll put down my tools and bricks
I'll be home for six
and back in time for tea
meanwhile the milk man is so forlorn
always waking up at the crack of dawn
he'd like a day off to mow the lawn
and paint the fence
