lyrics

I was blinded by the photocopier, spots on my cornea
I tripped over a heap of files and all this sitting has given me piles
And this is not my cup of tea, this is Heavy Industry

Another accident in the kitchen, this kettle needs filling
And this cup takes ages to clean where someone else’s lips have been
And this is not my cup of tea, this is Heavy Industry

My finger’s lacerated upon a single page
And burst open the blisters caused by hot water spillage
And my antiquated monitor has given me focal strain
As I stumble wearily upon the train

And this lack of ventilation contravenes EU directions
Like the gap that is my workplace, there’s a chronic lack of space
And this is not my cup of tea, this is Heavy Industry


No attempt to reduce my workload that’s built up over the years
I had a word with my supervisor, but my request fell on deaf ears
And 50mg of Prozac helps get me through the day
With another bifter along the way

This is not my cup of tea, this is Heavy Industry
This is not my cup of tea, it’s even worse than the coffee
