Strawbs - Back In The Old Routine lyrics

rate me

I get up in the morning in the usual state<br />

Listen to the breakfast show and know that I'm late<br />

Clock in at the factory and pick up my tools<br />

I never give a damn because the union rules (OK)<br />

I'm back in the old routine<br />

<br />

I drop in at the local for a pint and a chat<br />

End up at the takeaway for Siamese cat<br />

The wife is watching telly in a pink negligee<br />

The midnight horror movie and she's ready to play.<br />

<br />

I look forward to the weekend and Match of the Day<br />

When we're back in the old routine.<br />

<br />

Perhaps I'll win the pools and be a millionaire<br />

I'll get myself a sports car and a sexy au pair<br />

I'll buy myself a yacht and sail away for a year<br />

With Susan George for company and plenty of beer<br />

But I'm still in the old routine.
