[Genesis, "Selling England by the Pound"] 
(T. Banks / P. Collins / P. Gabriel / S. Hackett / M. Rutherford)

It's one o'clock and time for lunch, 
Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum-dum 
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, 
I can always hear them talk. 

There's always been Ethel: 
"Jacob, wake up! You've got to tidy your room now." 
And then Mister Lewis: 
"Isn't it time that he was out on his own?" 
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you! 
Keep them moving blades sharp... 

I know what I like, and I like what I know; 
getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show. 
Sunday night, Mr Farmer called, said: 
"Listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you 
in the fire escape trade. Come up to town!" 
But I remebered a voice from the past; 
"Gambling only plays when you're winning" 
- I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure. 
Keep them moving blades sharp... 

I know what I like, and I like what I know; 
getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show. 

When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, 
I can always hear them talk. 
Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk.
