john fell off the work-around - mary coughlan lyrics

Loading...

john was made redundant ‘morrow i only knew last night
every day for the past two weeks he’s been leaving home at eight
briefcase hat and coat and all like he’s done for years
but i found him sitting in the park, ending his career

sat him down in his favorite chair and made him a nice cup of tea
the look in his eyes could break your heart, he won’t look straight at me
i said to him: “john let’s make a plan, there’s lots of things we can do
the paintworks in an awful state and the fence is rotten through”

for the better, and the worse and in sickness and in health
for the richer, for the poorer, and so on until death

john he was a shy a young man, we both saved hard for years
to have a house when we were we were, always in arrears
how are we going to manage? how will we make ends meet?
it would be like having another child with a man under my feet

for the better, and the worse and in sickness, and in health
for the richer, for the poorer, and so on until death

john fell off the workaround, now he cannot cope
he’s lived a life of nine*to*five and how he’s lost all hope
me and john we carried on day in day out for years
i had all day when john was gone but now i’m close to tears

john fell off the workaround, now he cannot cope
he’s lived a life of nine*to*five and how he’s lost all hope
me and john we carried on day in day out for years
i had all day when john was gone but now i’m close to tears

for the better, and the worse and in sickness, and in health
for the richer, for the poorer, and so on until death
for the better, and the worse and in sickness, and in health
for the richer, for the poorer, and so on until death
