The Enemy : Away From Here
I'm so sick, sick, sick and tired
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

Saw Tom do an acoustic set last Sunday and he’s still angry and superb live.
