Matthew And Son lyrics
by Cat Stevens



Up at eight, you can't be late

For Matthew and Son, he won't wait.



Watch them run down to Platform One

And the eight-thirty train to Matthew and Son.



Matthew and 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 and 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 and Son, Matthew and Son, Matthew and Son, Matthew and Son,

And they've been working all day, all day, all day
