Testo 24/7 - Hugh Cornwell

Testo della canzone 24/7 (Hugh Cornwell), tratta dall'album Beyond Elysian

I'd like to meet the wandering jew

Who keeps his hands in his pockets for later

He's always been there controlling the scene

But in his new suit he looks like a waiter

He's of the retiring kind

But with a schedule that's fuller than Kissinger

He's grown a moustache since his wife went away

But I have to say I don't think he's missing her

Twenty four seven

It's got to be the greatest job

It's twenty four seven

Just being Bob

He started out when I was at school

When the teachers weren't cruel they were vicious

He strummed that guitar like he meant it

And the women that he knew were capricious

I couldn't wait to discover an E

And then follow it with an A minor

Even the Beatles took note

Of the words that he wrote like a spider

Twenty four seven

It's got to be the greatest job

It's twenty four seven

Just being Bob

Meanwhile I got stuck in verse three

When the black blood flowed down the metal

I left it lying around for about a thousand hours

And then sure enough I started to meddle

So if you're listening please

I'm down on my knees in the candles

I'm not stuck in Memphis at all

But I sure heard the call and the scandal

Twenty four seven

It's got to be the greatest job

It's twenty four seven

Just being Bob

So Bob don't get me wrong

I'm a fan but I can stay cool

I know what it's like to be put on the spot

When your collar gets hot that's the rule

I understand why you constantly play

Because playing is work and it's fun

I hope you continue to grow

Because it's sure hard to stop once begun

Twenty four seven

It's got to be the greatest job

It's twenty four seven

Just being, just being, just being, just being

Just being, just being, just being Bob
