about

In this life you get what you put in. So don't spend it in a dead end job, working yourself into an early grave...

lyrics

As the daylight breaks in the vale of white horses
A busy hive of human Endeavour
A man wakes up part of the machine
And starts once again his unending routine (cause)

He’s
An Everyday Man
With an Everyday life
Doing all that he can to fight it out

As the door swings closed on his suburban castle
Without a word for his wife and his children
He walks the same streets, year after year
Whilst the clocks ticks on and retirement draws near (cause)

He’s
(An Everyday Man living)
An Everyday Man
(In his Everyday life hoping)
With an Everyday life
(That some day it’ll all be worth it)
Doing all that he can – to fight (but)

Say what you will about him
In this life you get what you put in
Day by day it’s dull and it’s grim
Time – And – Tide but he soldiers on

But on this particular black and grey morning
A change of plans arrives without warning
And down he falls, his heart given in (and he thinks)
“If this is the end why did I begin?” (cause)

He’s
(An Everyday Man living)
An Everyday Man
(In his Everyday life hoping)
With an Everyday life
(That some day it’ll all be worth it)
Doing all that he can – to fight (but)

Say what you will about him
In this life you get what you put in
Day by day it’s dull and it’s grim
Time – And – Tide – But that has run out
Too much – too late – He’s got no further to go
And in his – Memories – He’s wasted everyday
