Matthew & Son — текст песни (Cat Stevens)

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!
