lyrics

Just around the corner

The day I bought my council house, was the best day of my life
A loan for double glazing to please the lovely wife
I got myself a little shed to house my little bike,
I got a job just round the corner, was a job that I quite liked.
just around the corner, was a job that I quite liked.
we raised a little family, a girl a boy a dog
Debbie sue, and Jason and a mongrel we called Bob
and we’d have fish and chips, Friday, night the kids are both in bed
there’s nothing on the telly and my bike locked in the shed ,
Well I'm up for work on Saturday cos we've got bills to pay
there’s the mortgage and the windows some for a rainy day
and I'm lucky cos I've got a job that I quite like
it was just around the corner I go on my old bike
I rode to work one morning, my boss he sez to me
We got no choice to lay men off and move the factory
You’ll have to take a pay cut, but at least you keep your job
be happy you're not one of those facing the chop
Well I broke the news to my dear wife that very afternoon
I sez , don't you fret and worry love it's not all doom and gloom
We'll have to buy a car tho, it’s a forty mile commute
So it’s a good job that we got savings, we can dip into
Now it's chips n peas on a Friday night The kids won't go to bed
still nothing on the telly now my cars parked by the shed ,
nothing on the telly and my Rovers by the shed
I'm at work on Sunday too, we got more bills to pay
there’s the mortgage, car insurance road tax and mot
I used to have a job that I quite liked
just around the corner I'd go on my old bike
just around the corner I'd go on my old bike
I drove to work one evening there's a meeting in’t canteen
the men are down there's no morale the worst Its ever seen
the gaffers have us gathered now, here comes the body blow
the factory is shutting down your jobs have got to go
now there’s no more chips on a Friday night the kids do in my head
x factor's on the telly and some git broke in my shed
Now I’m on the scrap heap but I don't give a toss
I couldn’t work for nothing or that wanker of a boss
The day I bought my council house was the worst day of my life
a loan for chuffin' everything to please the now ex wife
the kids live with their mother got the bills and got no job
and to top the bugger off just last week we buried Bob.
yes to top the bugger off just last week we lost the dog
I used to have a job that I quite liked
It was just around the corner, I would go on my old bike
and I used to call the boss a friend of mine
but that's no longer true cos he's a two faced lying swine

Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious!

Confused and amazed about the different styles and the overload of lyrics, after my first full album sitdown. Struggeling to find the cohesion, but it will do for now. After a few listens..cd in hand too, starting to like it a lot. Anywhere i can find full lyrics? This must be amoré..my new favorite..italodisco meets dep mod ervanduijvenbode

Great album. Almost a blend of Old Style and New Style Gaz. Delighted to have seen him perform two of the tracks live at Glastonbury. His performance was better than ever, and the songs are right up there with his best. matsan66
