The Beautiful South - I've Come For My Award lyrics

rate me

(Heaton/Rotheray)

This is the Awards for Industry and Free Enterprise

So let me sit you down and tell you how I won first prize

I took on your free enterprise and your pretty little shops

Walked in with empty bags and walked out with the lot

So I've come for my award, I've come for my award

I thought I'd come in person that's the least I can afford

Let hands be shook

Champagne poured

Sentence ignored

Yes. I've come for my award

This is the Awards for Industry and Free Enterprise

Anyone want a gold watch in a ladies' size?

There's a few more round the back

I stole them from your shop

We've got no more in silver, that's all that you'd got

So I've come for my award, I've come for my award

I thought I'd come in person that's the least I can afford

Let hands be shook

Champagne poured

Sentence ignored

Yes. I've come for my award

I chatted with your guards and winked at roving eye

A thousand hidden cameras were searching cross the sky

But they didn't see me pinch them from underneath their eyes

So I've come for my award, I've come for my award

I thought I'd come in person that's the least I can afford

Let hands be shook

Champagne poured

Sentence ignored

Yes. I've come for my award

Jesus was my greatest accomplice

Jesus was my greatest accomplice

Jesus was my greatest accomplice

Yes, I've come for my award

Hairdryer, overcoat, telly, dot-to-dot

Video, compact disc, there's nothing we forgot

Whilst I was busy smiling my father got the lot

I've come for my Award
