MATTHEW & SON by Cat Stevens
Up at 8:00, you can't be late for Matthew & son, he won't wait
(*Brass Riff)
Em D Em (Brass Riff)
Watch them run down to platform one,for the 8:30 train to Matthew,& son
Matthew & son, the work's never done, there's always something new,
us4
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through,
us4
And they've been working all day, all day, all day
There's a five minute break, and that's all you take,
D Em (Brass Riff)
For a cup of cold coffee and a piece of cake
He's got people who've been working for Fif-ty years ,
No one asks for more money, 'cause nobod-y dares,
Even though they're pretty low, and their rent's in a-rrears
Mat-thew & son,
Mat-thew & son,
Verse 4(again)
And they've been working all day, all day, all day
