Absolutely lyrics

I am the bringer of your wishes,
Your saviour from doing work,
The washer of your dishes,and
You’ll still get you mid-day perk.
Estate agent,
Your mansion and pot of gold,
All the home comforts,
Before you’re getting tired and old.

One more try,
Try to get what you’ve never had,
Five more bob,
For the whole world that can’t be bad.
We can’t all win,

I am the bringer of your wishes,
Your saviour from doing work,
The washer of your dishes,and
You’ll still get you mid-day perk.
Estate agent,
Your mansion and pot of gold,
All the home comforts,
Before you’re getting tired and old.

One more try,
Try to get what you’ve never had,
Five more bob,
For the whole world that can’t be bad.
We can’t all win,

(McPherson/Foreman)
An insolent speck of youth
Being taken for a walk
So tightly by the ear
That he can hardly talk
Yesterday's men hang to today
To sing in the old-fashioned way
It must get better in the long run
Has to get better in the long run
A metropolitan marathon
Has been held today
But who you need to catch
Will be coming the other way
Yesterday's men hang to today
To sing in any old way

instrumental

Now I've been here and I've been there
And I've been almost everywhere
There's not a thing I can't repair
Cos I'm Stan, Yes I am,
The odd job man

I'm a tradesman, I know all the tricks
There's not a thing that I cannot fix
Beginners use my concrete mix
I'm Stan yes I am, The odd job man

Well, thats the way to do it
Just be as quick as a flash
Don't hang about
Just in and out

(Smash)
(Okay Boys, let's get real solid gone !)
Shake it mister
And a sister too
I'm gonna make ya boogie woogie
Gonna rattle in your shoes
Boogie with me baby (Boogie boogie)
Oh won't ya boogie with me baby (Boogie boogie)
Oh won't ya boogie with me baby we'll flip the whole night through
(Oh but listen to me baby)
Come on baby won't ya do it right

(Okay Boys, let's get real solid gone !)

Shake it mister
And a sister too
I'm gonna make ya boogie woogie
Gonna rattle in your shoes

Boogie with me baby (Boogie boogie)
Oh won't ya boogie with me baby (Boogie boogie)
Oh won't ya boogie with me baby we'll flip the whole night through
(Oh but listen to me baby)
Come on baby won't ya do it right

I walk through Camden town in the evening,
strolling silently and hardly breathing.
Footsteps behind me slightly quicker,
the corner of my eye a shadowy flicker.

I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight.
Stops to whisper with the shadows but still keeps me in his sight.
I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware,
don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair.

Instrumental

Door Locked Open, Door Locked Shut
See you soon, hopefully not
I've been and gone so many times
Without a work I've dropped no lines
Just look Forward, Never Back
Selfish bastard, dicta-brat

Please forgive me
For the things that I've done
Don't feel ashamed
If you're asked hows your son

Living here and living there
Lived at home but very rare
To see your faces it would be

On The Beat Pete

Up I rush off to work
Hello Fred you look half dead and
Are you coming are you going
I could never do a double shift
(Allo Fred get some bed Fred)

Hello Steve long time no see
I like the Stones still on the thieve
Bet you ain't half seen some time
In your short-lived life of crime
(By the way, have you got the time ?)

On the beat Pete
Wiv me size ten feet

She says he's gone away on a short holiday
He won't be back for awhile
The twleve from the bench stood up
And hesitated he'll be leaving
right after this trial

Circumstance, evidence who can cheat providence
He wished he could go back again
A flick of the wrist
He wished that he missed
Not guilty is all he can say

Pass 'round the gossip now
Let's wait and see
Pass 'round the tray now

I am the bringer of your wishes,
Your saviour from doing work,
The washer of your dishes,and
You'll still get you mid-day perk.
Estate agent,
Your mansion and pot of gold,
All the home comforts,
Before you're getting tired and old.

One more try,
Try to get what you've never had,
Five more bob,
For the whole world that can't be bad.
We can't all win,
Look it's happening,

Received a letter just the other day,
Don't seem they wanna know you no more,
They've laid it down given you their score,
Within the first two lines it bluntly read.

You're not to come and see us no more,
Keep away from our door,
Don't come 'round here no more
What on earth did you do that for?

Our aunt, she don't wanna know she says,
What will the neighbours think they'll think,

Walls signed with autographs,
Ceilings full of echoed laughs,
Something's disappear.
Gurus on roller skates,
Capital for swinging fetes
The area is to be cleared.

A stab in the back, the smoke and the black
As it smoulders to its grave.
Disappear with the fun and the fear
Another chance to misbehave.

Organ tinkling organ,
Marriage planning children,
Spinning, round and round.

I cried all night just thinking of you
I wonder now what Im going to do
Since you left me for that friend of mine
Every second is just crying time
I cry cos my heart is in pain
I cry though I know its in vain
But knowing this I cry all the same
I wake at night Crying out your name

You said that you'd never leave
I never listened that you were a tease
People talk about me behind my back

That was a close escape, have to get a new hobby to relate.
Something less conspicuous, won't take up too much time,
something less energetic, for what I've got in mind.
I won't be too persistant 'cos I'm not that way inclined.
See, that's the one for me. Look under Collins see if she's free.
Sweaty fingers find 5p 4151683
Hello Miss Collins you'll not know me. I'm in the undies

Naughty boys in nasty schools
Headmasters breaking all the rules
Having fun and playing fools
Smashing up the woodwork tools
All the teachers in the pub
Passing 'round the ready-rub
Trying not to think of when
The lunch-time bell will ring again.

Oh what fun we had
But, did it really turn out bad
All I learnt at school
Was how to bend not break the rules
Oh what fun we had
