Paul Kendall - Only Doing Your Job lyrics

One hand held the hammer And one hand held the nail Flesh and wood were impaled Four hands held two hands And two hands restrained two feet Oh no, another day's work complete Don't bat an eyelid Don't ever turn away I wanna hear it all now You've gotta stay Well I've heard some feeble excuses before But that one just about beats them all When you said you were Only doing your job The tinder box is opened The steel and flint are struck Two hands fan the flames of bad luck The spark became a flame And the flame became a blaze Oh no, it's dirty work that pays Three men built the scaffold And one man tied the knot One man opened the trap door And that's the lot Five men pulled a trigger Five men aimed a gun Oh no another day's work is done One man wired the room Another man built the chair One man opened a book And said a prayer A million eyes never saw a thing A million ears never heard a sound Oh no Another one in the ground
