Retirement
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There are many things that I would be proud of
If I'd only invented them such as the wheel
The washing machine and the tumble dryer
On these inventions surely I could retire
I want to retire
No longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye
With a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high
And tell nobody why
There are many things that I know I could do
If I only have wanted to such as create
The perfect tone that everyone would admire
On this creation surely I could retire
I want to retire
No longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye
With a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high
And not to answer to why
I want to retire
Inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style and not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky
I got my fingers in pies
A golden watch at my side
Will measure my free time
Now my place in history is surely assured
I will be remembered here for evermore
A brand new product in place and a potential buyer
Upon this next transaction surely I could retire
I want to retire
No longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye
With a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high
And not to answer to why
I want to retire
Inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style and not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky
I got my fingers in pies
A golden watch at my side
Will measure my free time
