[Genesis, ";Selling England by the Pound";]
(T. Banks / P. Collins / P. Gabriel / S. Hackett / M. Rutherford)
It's one o'clock and time for lunch,
Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum-dum
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench,
I can always hear them talk.
There's always been Ethel:
";Jacob, wake up! You've got to tidy your room now.";
And then Mister Lewis:
";Isn't it time that he was out on his own?";
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you!
Keep them moving blades sharp...
I know what I like, and I like what I know;
getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show.
Sunday night, Mr Farmer called, said:
";Listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you
in the fire escape trade. Come up to town!";
But I remebered a voice from the past;
";Gambling only plays when you're winning";
- I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure.
Keep them moving blades sharp...
I know what I like, and I like what I know;
getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show.
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench,
I can always hear them talk.
Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk.
