[The Jam - Just Who Is the 5 O'Clock Hero? lyrics]
Hello darlin', I'm home again
Covered in shit and aches and pains
Too knackered to think so give
Me time to come round
Just gimme the living room beat
To the TV sound
My hard earned dough goes in
Bills and the larder
And that Prince Philip tells us
We gotta work harder!
It seems a constant struggle just to exist
Scrimping and saving and crossing of lists
From this window I've seen
The whole world pass
From dawn to dusk I've heard
The last laugh laughed
I've seen enough tears to
Wash away this street
I've heard wedding bells chime
And a funeral march
When as one life finishes, another one starts
All right then love, so I'll be off now
It's back to the lunchbox and worker
Management rows
There's gotta be more to this
Old life than this
Scrimping and saving and crossing of lists
Covered in shit and aches and pains
Too knackered to think so give
Me time to come round
Just gimme the living room beat
To the TV sound
My hard earned dough goes in
Bills and the larder
And that Prince Philip tells us
We gotta work harder!
It seems a constant struggle just to exist
Scrimping and saving and crossing of lists
From this window I've seen
The whole world pass
From dawn to dusk I've heard
The last laugh laughed
I've seen enough tears to
Wash away this street
I've heard wedding bells chime
And a funeral march
When as one life finishes, another one starts
All right then love, so I'll be off now
It's back to the lunchbox and worker
Management rows
There's gotta be more to this
Old life than this
Scrimping and saving and crossing of lists
