A Well Respected Man (The Kinks cover) Lyrics by Trash Bats

Mud, Blood, Guts & Glory (EP)

0

Cause he gets up in the morning
And he goes to work at nine
And he comes back home at five-thirty
Gets the same train every time
Cause his world is built round punctuality
It never fails
And hes oh, so good
And hes oh, so fine
And hes oh, so healthy
In his body and his mind
Hes a well respected man about town
Doing the best things so conservatively
And his mother goes to meetings
While his father pulls the maid
And she stirs the tea with councilors
While discussing foreign trade
And she passes looks, as well as bills
At every suave young man
Cause hes oh, so good
And hes oh, so fine
And hes oh, so healthy
In his body and his mind
Hes a well respected man about town
Doing the best things so conservatively
And he likes his own backyard
And he likes his fags the best
Cause hes better than the rest
And his own sweat smells the best
And he hopes to grab his fathers loot
When pater passes on
Cause hes oh, so good
And hes oh, so fine
And hes oh, so healthy
In his body and his mind
Hes a well respected man about town
Doing the best things so conservatively
And he plays at stocks and shares
And he goes to the regatta
And he adores the girl next door
Cause hes dying to get at her
But his mother knows the best about
The matrimonial stakes
Cause hes oh, so good
And hes oh, so fine
And hes oh, so healthy
In his body and his mind
Hes a well respected man about town
Doing the best things so conservatively
