Just Who Is the 5 O'Clock Hero?

Hello darling I'm home again

Covered in shit and aches and pains

Too knackered to think so give me time to come around

Just give me the living room beat to the TV sound

My hard earned dough goes in bills and the larder

And that Prince Philip tells us we gotta work harder

It seems a constant struggle just to exist

Scrimping and saving and crossing off lists

From this window I've seen the whole world pass

From dawn to dusk I've heard the last laugh laughed

I've seen enough tears to wash away this street

I've heard wedding bells chime and a funeral march

When as one life finishes another one starts

From this window I've seen the whole world pass

From dawn to dusk I've heard the last laugh laughed

I've seen enough tears to wash away this street

I've heard wedding bells chime and a funeral march

When as one life finishes another one starts

Alright then love so I'll be off now

It's back to the lunchbox and worker management vows

There's gotta be more to this old life than this

Scrimping and saving and crossing off lists
