Looking for the working man's café | |
In the shopping center of the town | |
Looking for somewhere to fit in | |
In among the retail outlets | |
Bought a pair of new designer pants | |
Where the fruit and veg man used to stand | |
I always used to see him there | |
Selling old apples and pears | |
Chatting up the pretty girls | |
With knocked off goods in the van | |
Don't you know he was a working man | |
Long ago he was a working man | |
And we sat in the working man's café | |
The working man's café | |
Everything around me seems unreal | |
Everywhere I go it looks and feels like America | |
We've really come a long way down this road | |
Improving our surroundings as we go | |
Changing our roots and culture | |
But don't you know | |
Long ago there was a working man | |
Don't you know we were all working men | |
And we'd sit and pass the time of day | |
At the working man's café | |
I thought I knew you then but will I know you now? | |
There's gotta be a place for us to meet | |
I'll call you when I've found it | |
I only hope that life has made us a little more grounded | |
Hey man, I see you now. | |
Oh oh, we were all working men | |
And here we are at the working man's café | |
It's really good to see us come so far | |
But haven't we forgotten who we are | |
Taking out a larger loan | |
Equity relief and mortgages | |
We all seem to pass the time of day | |
Online at the internet cafe | |
And if you forget my face | |
In case you've forgotten just who I am | |
I'm the kid with the greasy spoon | |
Firmly held in my hand | |
Don't you know I was a working man | |
Long ago we were all working men | |
And we sat and spent the time of day | |
At the working man's café | |
Yeah, at the working man's café |
Looking for the working man' s cafe | |
