5am - The Go Set

Well its 5am and Im driving through to Alice once again

and the sun is coming up on my right

Ten long years of working 70 hour weeks,

and Ive been working for the bank all my life

All this talk about foreign policy,

but the slightest rise in interest rates are fucking killing me

And on one fine day, when all the bills are paid

on one fine day, we can afford a holiday

And on one fine day, my boy is pulling at my sleeve saying

Dad, wont you kick the ball to me — and I’ll smile

Ive heard others say we carry this country,

but this rig owes me more than I can pay

and what gets me through an endless working week

is all the lines, and the thought that some day

All this talk about foreign policy,

Im just a working man, it means fuck all to me

And on one fine day, when all the bills are paid

on one fine day, we can afford a holiday

And on one fine day, my boy is pulling at my sleeve saying

Dad, wont you kick the ball to me — and I’ll smile
