The Beautiful South - I've Come For My Award lyrics

So let me sit you down and tell you how I won first prize

I took on your free enterprise and your pretty little shops

Walked in with empty bags and walked out with the lot

CHORUS:

So I've come for my award, I've come for my award

I thought I'd come in person that's the least I can afford

Let hands be shook

Champagne poured

Sentence ignored

Yes. I've come for my award

This is the Awards for Industry and Free Enterprise

Anyone want a gold watch in a ladies' size?

There's a few more round the back

I stole them from your shop

We've got no more in silver, that's all that you'd got

CHORUS

I chatted with your guards and winked at roving eye

A thousand hidden cameras were searching cross the sky

But they didn't see me pinch them from underneath their eyes

CHORUS:

Jesus was my greatest accomplice

Jesus was my greatest accomplice

Jesus was my greatest accomplice

Yes, I've come for my award

Hairdrier, overcoat, telly, dot-to-dot

Video, compact disc, there's nothing we forgot

Whilst I was busy smiling my father got the lot

I've come for my Aaward
