the gods (uk) - five to three lyrics
sammy and his wife, living city life
from eight till six every day
forty+nine years and more they’ve spent in the big town store
with never a morning away
all at once, the day approaches
sammy knows it’s time to leave
one thing playing on his mind is
do they know how he will grieve?
but sammy needn’t sigh, his days have not passed by
without being noticed at all
at nearly five to three, the manager wants to see sammy
in his office by the hall
please accept this gift we offer
thank you for your loyal years
thеn it’s over, the store is silеnt
sammy cries devoted tears
what will sammy do? his working life is through
but the firm must have cared after all
part of him has died but he still has the pride of five to three
in the office by the hall
have you read the morning paper?
did you see my picture there?
have you seen the watch i’m wearing
given to me on that day?
