Matthew And Son Lyrics


Up at eight, you can't be late
For Matthew And Son, he won't wait.
Watch them run down to platform one
And the eight-thirty train to matthew & son.

Matthew & son, the work's never done, there's always something new.
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through.
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!

There's a five minute break and that's all you take,
For a cup of cold coffee and a piece of cake.

Matthew and son, the work's never done, there's always something new.
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through.
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!

He's got people who've been working for fifty years
No one asks for more money 'cause nobody cares
Even though they're pretty low and their rent's in arrears

Matthew and son, Matthew and son, Matthew and son, Matthew and son,
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!

Matthew And Son Song Chart
  • This was inspired by a sign Stevens saw in a shop window while riding a bus in London. By the time it got to his stop, he thought up the story of the worker that became the main character in the song.
  • This was Stevens' first Top-10 hit in England. It's the title track of his first album.
  • This was recorded with an orchestra.
  • This is the first track on Stevens' 2000 Greatest Hits compilation. After converting to Islam, Stevens (who became known as Yusuf Islam) made only religious music, but came to accept that his previous work had a lot of meaning and agreed to release it as a Greatest Hits album.
