Kinks - Rush Hour Blues - Текст песни

He gets up early about seven oclock,

The alarm goes off and then the house starts to rock.

In and out of the bathroom by seven-o-three,

By seven-ten hes downstairs drinking his tea.

So put a shine on your shoes,

Put on your pin-striped suit.

Cant lose those early-morning-cant-stop-yawning,

Push and shoving rush hour blues.

Wife:

Darling are you ready? 

Youll be late for the bus!

Star:

Dont rush me baby

While Im using my brush.

Wife:

Get a move on darling

Youre cutting it fine.

Star:

Cool it baby

Ive got plenty of time.

So put a shine on your shoes

Put on your pin-striped suit.

Cant lose those early-morning-cant-stop-yawning

Push and shoving rush hour blues.

Soon Ill be just one of the commuters

Waiting for the subway train.

Ill be rushing up the stairs

And in the elevator.

By the time that I get there

Im gonna feel like a mole in the ground

Ill be caught in the crush

Ill be pushed and be shoved,

And Ill be trying to get the subway train.

Ill be fighting with my brief case

And my umbrella,

Every morning and every night.

Some people do it every day of their lives.

Wife:

Read the paper later

Youll be caught in the queues.

Star:

Dont rush me baby

While Im reading the news.

Wife:

Darling get a move on

Youre cutting it fine.

Star:

Cool it baby

Ive got plenty of time.

A quick cup of coffee and a slice of

Toast and the star (or should we say,

Norman? ) is off to do battle with the

Rush hour queues and traffic jams.

In the rush hour queues

No one gives a damn.

No one knows where Im going to

No one knows who I am.

Im sitting in my office

In the metropolis

Im just part of the scenery,

Im just part of the machinery.

Chained to my desk on the 22nd floor,

I cant break out through the automatic door,

Id jump out the window but I cant face the drop

Im sitting in a cage with an eye on the clock.

Im ready to start paying my dues,

Ive got to lose those early-morning-cant-stop-yawning,

Push and shoving, rush hour blues.

Well Im ready to start paying my dues,

Ive got to lose those early-morning cant-stop-yawning,

Push and shoving rush hour blues.
