作曲：Graham Parker

I come from a nation of shopkeepers

Window cleaners turf accountants and book keepers

I run through the station where the road sweepers

Clean the debris sweep the tickets near the rail sleepers

And as usual I'm running late

But I can't wait

It's not important anyhow

As usual it's not that great

Just seeing a mate

In a pub across town

I come from a nation of shopkeepers

Car mechanics plumbers mates and inn keepers

I run down the tow path past the lock keepers

In my pinstripe my dickie bow and my brothel creepers

And you can laugh at my hair

The clothes I wear

No they're not all the rage

But I'm not the global type

Don't wanna act

Upon the world stage

I come from a nation of shopkeepers

Washer women hod carriers and wicket keepers

I run through the morning past the road sweepers

With my flat cap my plus 4's to my Mini Cooper

And you can't expect me to put up a fight

No I'm just sitting still

My eyes are all over you

but my hand remains in the till
