The Beautiful South - I've Come For My Award текст песни

This is the awards for industry and free enterprise
So let me sit you down and tell you, how I won first prize
I took on your free enterprise and your pretty little shops
I walked in with empty bags and walked out with the lot
So I’ve come for my award, I’ve come for my award
I thought I’d come in person, that’s the least I can afford
Let hands be shook, champagne poured
Sentence ignored, yes, I’ve come for my award
This is the awards for industry and free enterprise
Anyone wants a gold watch in a ladies' size
There’s a few more 'round the back, I stole them from your shop
We’ve got no more in silver, that’s all that you’d got
I chatted with your guards and winked at roving eye
A thousand hidden cameras were searching 'cross the sky
But they didn’t see me pinch them from underneath their eyes…
Jesus was my greatest accomplice
Jesus was my greatest accomplice
Jesus was my greatest accomplice
Yes, I’ve come for my award
Hairdryer, overcoat, telly, dot-to-dot
Video, compact disc, there’s nothing we forgot
Whilst I was busy smiling my father got the lot
I’ve come for my award…
