Goldwatch Blues - Fiddler's Green[00:00:00]
I went up for my interview on the forth day of July[00:00:14]
Personnel man he questioned me until I nearly cried[00:00:17]
Made me fill in forms until I shook from fear[00:00:20]
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin's[00:00:24]
Queer[00:00:26]
He asked me how many jobs I had before[00:00:31]
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered four[00:00:34]
Four jobs in twenty years oh this could never be[00:00:37]
We only take on men who'll work until they die[00:00:40]
He said here's your goldwatch and the shackles for[00:00:43]
Your chain[00:00:46]
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane[00:00:47]
If you have a son who wants a good career[00:00:51]
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for[00:00:54]
Fifty years[00:00:57]
He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in[00:00:58]
Line[00:01:00]
This is where we burry them in quick stone and in line[00:01:01]
If you come to work for us on this you must agree[00:01:04]
That if you're going to die please do it during tea[00:01:08]
Break[00:01:11]
He said here's your goldwatch and the shackles for[00:01:11]
Your chain[00:01:14]
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane[00:01:15]
If you have a son who wants a good career[00:01:18]
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for[00:01:21]
Fifty years[00:01:24]
This story that you've heard you may think rather[00:01:56]
Queer[00:01:58]
But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear[00:01:59]
I did not want no job upon the board[00:02:02]
I just wanted to take the broom and sweep the bloody[00:02:06]
Floor[00:02:08]
He said here's your goldwatch and the shackles for[00:02:09]
Your chain[00:02:11]
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane[00:02:13]
If you have a son who wants a good career[00:02:16]
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for[00:02:19]
Fifty years[00:02:22]
He said here's your goldwatch and the shackles for[00:02:23]
Your chain[00:02:25]
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane[00:02:26]
If you have a son who wants a good career[00:02:29]
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for[00:02:33]
Fifty years[00:02:35]
