Our Man
Graham Lyrics

Pushing his pen across the page
He's writing without a clear purpose or direction.

To nowhere in particular
He's not sure where his writing is going.

He's dreaming of his holidays
He's preoccupied with the thought of his upcoming vacation.

His stomach's perpendicular
He's craving food and drink, possibly at a right angle to his body.

He tried to keep his keep fit interest
He used to care about staying in shape.

But the summer's nearly here
He's aware that he hasn't been keeping up with his fitness routine, as summer is approaching.

The only exercise he really gets is when he's lifting beer
His main source of physical activity is lifting a beer can or bottle.

Our man is feeling rather wonderful
He's feeling great about his current situation.

Lying somewhere comfortable
He's in a relaxed and comfortable environment.

His feet up in the air...oh
He's fully relaxed, with his feet propped up.

Our man is sipping drinks incredible
He's enjoying some amazing and exotic drinks.

Eating all that's edible
He's indulging in all kinds of food.

He hasn't got a care
He's stress-free and worry-free.

His day's spent pushing money round
He has a job that involves moving money around.

But he's not got a lot of his own
He doesn't have much money of his own, despite his job.

His wife lives on the other side of town
He and his wife are living apart.

And all his kids are fully grown
His children are no longer dependent on him.

Would the enormous corporation
He's considering a decision that could have repercussions for the big company he works for.

Lose much more than it's pride?
He's pondering whether the company would be greatly affected by his departure.

If he was to take an early pension
He's considering retiring earlier than planned.

With a little on the side
He wants to have some extra money saved up for retirement.

A-bathing on his yacht...oh
He's picturing himself luxuriously bathing on a boat.

Our man is drinking drinks exotica
He's enjoying exotic and unique drinks.

Dreaming of Uttoxeter
He's not interested in mundane places like Uttoxeter.

I think not
He's expressing his disinterest in visiting Uttoxeter.

He's fanning himself with fivers
He's using five-pound notes to cool himself down.

And drinking blue lagoons
He's enjoying the blue-colored tropical cocktail, Blue Lagoon.

He's watching erotic scuba divers
He's observing scuba divers in revealing clothing.

While the band plays calypso tunes
He's listening to festive Trinidadian music.

And he smiles because there's no
He's amused by the lack of extradition in his current location.

Extradition there...oh
He's pleased he can't be extradited from his current location if necessary.
