Pat is the guy with a record shop

and John sells fruit but wants to be a cop

and Paul deals speed in a celtic top

but I'm just a drunk in a band



Joe does tele-sales and martial arts

and Jim pushes patients 'round the public parks

and Nancy makes sculptures out of Hoover parts

but I'm just a drunk in a band



Danny puts the cones on the motorway

and Donna dances tables in her lingere

and Jerry, Dave, and Billy, man, they're putting on a play

but I'm just a drunk in a band



Pat is the guy with a record shop

and John sells fruit but wants to be a cop

and Paul deals speed in a celtic top

but I'm just a drunk in a band



I could be a soldier, I could drive a van

Guide rivers of paint into little red cans

Walk rich folks dogs bring 747s in to land

I'm just a drunk in a band
