lyrics

Old Joe wakes in the morning,
Rolls out of bed,
Puts on his bit o'betters,
Walks to the mirror on the wall,
Gotta feel ten feet tall.
Looks himself in the eye,
Fuck 'em first before I die.

Why you have to go
And do this all to yourself?
Raging through the night,
leaving thoughts on the shelf.
He's Old Joe,
(What are you on about Joe?)
He's Old Joe,
(What are you on about Joe?)
He's Old Joe, the bitter gas fitter,
He's Old Joe, the bitter gas fitter,
And he was always alone.

Kick the dog, punch the clock,
Hit a bloke off his block, tread his plough,
Time for drinking', enough for now.


Why you have to go
And do this all to yourself?
Raging through the night,
leaving thoughts on the shelf.
He's Old Joe,
(What are you on about Joe?)
He's Old Joe,
(What are you on about Joe?)
He's Old Joe, the bitter gas fitter,
He's Old Joe, the bitter gas fitter,
And he was always alone.

Never good enough,
Old Joe will call your bluff,
He never cared,
Old Joe was never there.
 
Why you have to go
And do this all to yourself?
Raging through the night,
leaving thoughts on the shelf.
He's Old Joe,
(What are you on about Joe?)
He's Old Joe,
(What are you on about Joe?)
He's Old Joe, the bitter gas fitter,
He's Old Joe, the bitter gas fitter,
And he was always alone.
