GOLDWATCH BLUES
Donovan


I went up
for my interview on the fourth day of
July.
First old man he questioned me until I
nearly cried,
Made me fill in forms until I
shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet
roll and if my cousin's
queer.

CHROUS:

Here's your
goldwatch and the shackles for your chain
And
your piece of paper to say you left here
sane.
And if you've a son who wants a good
career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line
and work for fifty
years. CHORUS.

He
asked me how many jobs I'd had before.
He
nearly had a heart attack when I answered,
four.
Four jobs in twenty years, oh, this can
never be
We only take on men who work until
they die. CHORUS.

He took me outside to
where the gravestones stand in line.
This is
where we bury them in quick-stone and in
lime
And if you come to work for us on this
you must agree,
That if you're going to die
please do it during tea. CHORUS.

This
story that you heard you may think rather
queer
But it is the truth you'll be surprised
to hear.
I did not want no job upon the
board,
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep
the bloody floor.
CHORUS.
