Intro

    
    

Verse 1

Good morning day and how do you do
I wonder what will you do for me?
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
I should be all the things that I'm not

Chorus

And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home,
Like my Brother has too, got to move to get out of this view,
You see they tell you to move around
If you can't find work in your own town

Verse 2

As I rise from my bed I can hear the old man
Blaming Heaven and Mother for this
Thirty years with one firm, thirteen months redundant,
Yes I'd say that's unlucky for some

Chorus

Now our tears fall like rain, as my Mother walks me to my train,
With a kiss and a wave - 'Come Home Weekends' that's if I can save
I swear I'll take it out on the man
Who ever devised this economy plan

Organ Solo

    
    

Bridge

All the love in the world
can't put dinner on the table
Oh, all the hate that I feel no love could put right 

Verse 3

Good morning day and how do you do
I wonder what will you do for me?
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
I should be all the things that I'm not

Chorus

And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home,
All the love and the strength has been taken by this Government,
You see they tell you to move around -
If you can't find work in your own town.

Guitar Solo

    
    

Outro

Father's in the kitchen, counting out coins,
Mother's in the bedroom, looking through pictures of her boys,
One is in London, looking for a job,
The other's in Whitehall, looking for those responsible!
