Paper And Iron (Notes And Coins)
Lyricist:Andy Partridge
Paper, iron, won't buy Eden Working for paper and for iron Work for the right to keep my tie on Working for paper and for iron Work for the unicorn and lion
I pray the kids aren't starving No chicken for the Sunday carving I'll stay for one more farthing
I take home my notes and coins every week I'm told I'm worth much more But the church says turn the other cheek The other cheek
Iron, paper, iron, won't buy Eden Working for paper and for iron Work for the right to keep my tie on Working for paper and for iron Work for the unicorn and lion
I know the family needs me Can't moan, the factory feeds me Won't bite the hand that bleeds me
I take home my notes and coins every week I'll inherit the earth I'm told But the church says to remain this meek Remain this meek

I'm still a proud man Won't show anybody else my wage A blend in the crowd man Is this anybody's golden age
Is this anybody's golden age Is this anybody's golden age Or am I dreaming of a golden cage
La, la, lo, it's paper La, la, lo and iron La, la, lo, just paper La, la, lo, just iron
Working for paper and for iron Work for the right to keep my tie on Working for paper and for iron Work for the unicorn and lion
I pray the kids aren't starving No chicken for the Sunday carving I'll stay for one more farthing I take home my notes and coins
Paper, iron, won't buy Eden Paper, iron, won't buy Eden Paper, iron, won't buy Eden
