24-7 lyrics

Artist  : Hugh Cornwell 
Song : 24-7



 Send "24-7" Ringtone to your Cell 

 I'd like to meet the wandering jew who keeps his
hands in his pockets for later

He's always been there controlling the scene but
in his new suit he looks like a waiter

He's of the retiring kind but with a schedule
that's fuller than Kissinger

He's grown a moustache since his wife went away
but I have to say I don't think he's missing
her

24/7 it's got to be the greatest job

24/7 just being Bob



He started out when I was at school when the
teachers weren't cruel they were vicious

He strummed that guitar like he meant it and the
women he knew were capricious

I couldn't wait to discover an E and then follow
it with an A minor

Even the Beatles took note at the words that he
wrote like a spider

24/7 it's got to be the greatest job

24/7 just being Bob



Meanwhile I got stuck in verse three when the
black blood flowed down the metal

I left it around for about a thousand hours and
then sure enough I started to meddle

So if you're listening please I'm down on my
knees in the candles

I'm not stuck in Memphis at all but I sure heard
the call and the scandal

24/7 it's got to be the greatest job

24/7 just being Bob



So Bob don't get me wrong I'm a fan but I can
stay cool

I know what it's like to be put on the spot when
your collar gets hot that's the rule

I understand why you constantly play because
playing is work and it's fun

I hope you continue to grow because it's sure
hard to stop once begun

24/7 it's got to be the greatest job

24/7 just being Bob
