[00:00:00] Nation Of Shopkeepers - Graham Parker

[00:00:51] I come from a nation of shopkeepers

[00:01:01] Window cleaners

[00:01:04] Turf accountants and book keepers

[00:01:10] I run through the station

[00:01:14] Where the road sweepers

[00:01:20] Clean the debris

[00:01:22] Sweep the tickets near the rail sleepers

[00:01:28] And as usual I'm running late

[00:01:32] But I can't wait

[00:01:34] It's not important anyhow

[00:01:37] As usual it's not that great

[00:01:41] Just seeing a mate

[00:01:43] In a pub across town

[00:01:46] Yes I come from a nation of shopkeepers

[00:01:57] Car mechanics plumbers

[00:01:59] Mates and inn keepers

[00:02:05] I run I run I run

[00:02:08] Down the tow path

[00:02:10] Past the lock keepers

[00:02:15] In my pinstripe my dickie

[00:02:18] Bow and my brothel creepers

[00:02:23] And you can laugh at my hair

[00:02:27] The clothes I wear

[00:02:29] No they're not all the rage

[00:02:32] But I'm not the global type

[00:02:36] Don't wanna act

[00:02:38] Upon the world stage

[00:03:18] Yes I come

[00:03:22] From a nation of shopkeepers

[00:03:28] Washer women

[00:03:30] Hod carriers and wicket keepers

[00:03:36] I run I run I run

[00:03:40] Through the sparthing

[00:03:41] Past the road sweepers

[00:03:47] In my flat cap

[00:03:49] My plus 4's to my Mini Cooper

[00:03:54] And you can't expect

[00:03:56] Me to put up a fight

[00:04:00] No I'm just sitting still

[00:04:04] My eyes are all over you

[00:04:07] But my hand remains in the till
