VERSE 1
CI'm so sick, sick, sick and tied,
Of working just to be retired,
FI don't want to get that far,
I don't want your company car,
GPromotions ain't my thing,
Name badges are not interesting,
FIt's much easier for me see,
N.C  
To stay at home with "Richard and Judy".
CHORUS
CAway, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
Away, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
FAway, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
Away, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
VERSE 2
CI'm fed up with early mornings,
Wake up calls are getting boring round here,
FFeet dragging on the pavement,
The same people with the same arrangement,
CIrony can be quite funny,
You making other people money,
FMy working day has just begun,
Its no exactly what I would call fun.
PRE-CHORUS
GI want to wake up in the afternoon,
With daytime TV and my favourite tune,
FCos it is much easier for me see,
To stay at home with "Richard and Judy"
CHORUS
CAway, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
Away, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
FAway, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
Away, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
VERSE 3
CSaturday is your only highlight,
When you go out and live the highlife,
FMeeting up with other people,
Your interaction with the weak and feeble,
CAt least when all is said and done,
You wouldn't be the only one,
FTo be a slave to the modern wage,
Your crappy weekend is your only escape.
PRE-CHORUS
GI want to wake up in the afternoon,
With daytime TV and my favourite tune,
FCos it is much easier for me see,
To stay at home with "Richard and Judy".
CHORUS
CAway, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
Away, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
FAway, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
Away, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
CAway, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
Away, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
FAway, away, oh oh oh, away from here,
Away, away, away, away from hCere.

INTRO

VERSE 1

I'm so sick, sick, sick and tied,

Of working just to be retired,

I don't want to get that far,

I don't want your company car,

Promotions ain't my thing,

Name badges are not interesting,

It's much easier for me see,

To stay at home with "Richard and Judy".

CHORUS

Away, away, oh oh oh, away from here,

VERSE 2

I'm fed up with early mornings,

Wake up calls are getting boring round here,

Feet dragging on the pavement,

The same people with the same arrangement,

Irony can be quite funny,

You making other people money,

My working day has just begun,

Its no exactly what I would call fun.

PRE-CHORUS

I want to wake up in the afternoon,

With daytime TV and my favourite tune,

Cos it is much easier for me see,

To stay at home with "Richard and Judy"

CHORUS

Away, away, oh oh oh, away from here,

VERSE 3

Saturday is your only highlight,

When you go out and live the highlife,

Meeting up with other people,

Your interaction with the weak and feeble,

At least when all is said and done,

You wouldn't be the only one,

To be a slave to the modern wage,

Your crappy weekend is your only escape.

PRE-CHORUS

I want to wake up in the afternoon,

With daytime TV and my favourite tune,

Cos it is much easier for me see,

To stay at home with "Richard and Judy".

CHORUS

Away, away, oh oh oh, away from here,

Away, away, away, away from here.
