Situation Vacant
Purvis
An employment advertisement in the station caught my eye and kept me looking, yeah
Said there's a situation vacant in the office of invention so you might try there
So you buy yourself a tie and comb your hair
And astound them with impressive words that you have read somewhere
CHORUS:
We don't want you working here (get out, you're no good)
I said we don't want you working here
We don't want you working here (get out, you're no good)
We don't want you working here
Every eye in the place tonight is going to be on you
They want to see you crawl and after all that's what you're paid to do
So you look the people straight between the eyes
And you tell them quite implicitly just what you feel inside
[slide guitar solo]:
We don't want you
We don't want you
When a paragraph on paper makes a difference to your money, well, it's just not fair
And surrounded by the smell of bread, you let your feelings fill your head and float away
To a place that isn't really there at all
And exists inside yourself alone and drives you up the wall
We don't want you working here (get out, you're no good)
I said we don't want you working here
We don't want you working here (get out, you're no good)
I said we don't want you working here
repeat CHORUS
