Lyrics for Just Who Is The 5 O'Clock Hero?

Hello darlin', I'm home again Covered in shit and aches and pains Too knackered to think so give me time to come round Just gimme the living room beat to the TV sound My hard earned dough goes in bills and the larder And that Prince Philip tells us we gotta work harder! It seems a constant struggle just to exist Scrimping and saving and crossing of lists From this window I've seen the whole world pass From dawn to dusk I've heard the last laugh laughed I've seen enough tears to wash away this street I've heard wedding bells chime and a funeral march When as one life finishes another one starts From this window I've seen the whole world pass From dawn to dusk I've heard the last laugh laughed I've seen enough tears to wash away this street I've heard wedding bells chime and a funeral march When as one life finishes another one starts Alright then love so I'll be off now It's back to the lunchbox and workermanagement rows There's gotta be more to this old life then this Scrimping and saving and crossing of lists
