Strawbs Back In The Old Routine

Strawbs- Back In The Old Routine

I get up in the morning in the usual state

Listen to the breakfast show and know that I'm late

Clock in at the factory and pick up my tools

I never give a damn because the union rules (OK)

I'm back in the old routine

I drop in at the local for a pint and a chat

End up at the takeaway for Siamese cat

The wife is watching telly in a pink negligee

The midnight horror movie and she's ready to play.

I look forward to the weekend and Match of the Day

When we're back in the old routine.

Perhaps I'll win the pools and be a millionaire

I'll get myself a sports car and a sexy au pair

I'll buy myself a yacht and sail away for a year

With Susan George for company and plenty of beer

But I'm still in the old routine.
