Steve Hackett - I Know What I Like lyrics

It's one o'clock and time for lunch
- dum dee dum dee 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 Mr lewis:
"Isn't it time that he was out on his own"
Over the garden wall

Two little love birds cuckoo to you
Keep them mowing 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 time
There's a future for you
In the fire-escape trade come up to town"

But I remembered a voice from the past:
"Gambling only pays when you're winning"
I had to thank old Miss
Mort for schooling a failure
Keep them mowing blades sharp

I know what I like and I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe
Stepping one beyond your show
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
