lyrics

WHITE VAN MAN

12 hours a day behind this wheel
a packet of fags & A BIG MAC meal
it keeps me going ... humping these crates
to washed-up pubs on sink estates

Chorus
And it's Hey! Ho! what do I know?
every back-double from Acton to Bow
I'm salt-of-the-earth ... I'm cash-in-hand
That's me the white van man


Got two grown-up boys from 2 different girls
from back in the day when I was raising hell
didn't see them too much from toddler thru teens
Far too busy out living the dream

Chorus
And it's Hey! Ho! what can I say?
the past is gone .. & it's here today
Sometimes I wished I’d given a damn
That's me the white van man


Well, I'm up at 6 in the morning
Still working 10 at night
same again the next day is dawning
what a life ... what a life!


I've got the radio on as I'm mounting the kerb
Gonna live forever in a house in the burbs
Before my back gets buckled & my hair grows thin
Before my heart gives out & my souls gives in


Chorus
And it's Hey! Ho! what can I see?
a broken man looking back at me
in the rear-view mirror... in the rain-soaked light
You can catch the truth in my face at night

so, it's hey! Ho! what do I know?
I'll sell you something for nothing Joe
I'm salt-of-the-earth ... I'm cash-in-hand
That's me the white van man
