Lyrics - I've Come For My Award by Beautiful South

This is the
Awards for
Industry and
Free
Enterprise
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
CHORUSI 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
