Cat Stevens Matthew And Son Lyrics

Matthew And Son Lyrics

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!
