lyrics
There’s something in my mind that’s making me hesitant
I can see you're busy
It's not important
Sorry to disturb you
I can tell you later
What does that nod mean?
Do you want me to wait
Or just stay out of your sight maybe
It takes a lot of effort to appear this lazy
Its not my fault
I’m not where I should be
You don’t know me or my history
I always fancied being a popman
(“What?”)
Like a milkman for pop
Delivering the flavours that you can’t get in the shop
(“Pop!”)
I’m not talking about the eggman
No way
That was The Beatles
Being surreal about delivery people
I can spend all day on an hour’s work
A handful of tricks I’ve religiously learnt
The years slip away while I look at the clock
But what have you done?
You’re one to talk
This was not my destiny, no
I doubt they even have popmen now though
A rusted van with broken windows
All out of business ‘cause of Asda and Tescos
I always fancied being a popman
(“What?”)
Like a milkman for pop
Delivering the flavours that you can’t get in the shop
(“Pop!”)
But I never wanted to be a milkman
No way
Despite the family ties
I can’t get excited about dairy supplies
A man
In a van
Bringing pop
To the people
I can see you're busy
It's not important
Sorry to disturb you
I can tell you later
What does that nod mean?
Do you want me to wait
Or just stay out of your sight maybe
It takes a lot of effort to appear this lazy
Its not my fault
I’m not where I should be
You don’t know me or my history
I always fancied being a popman
(“What?”)
Like a milkman for pop
Delivering the flavours that you can’t get in the shop
(“Pop!”)
I’m not talking about the eggman
No way
That was The Beatles
Being surreal about delivery people
I can spend all day on an hour’s work
A handful of tricks I’ve religiously learnt
The years slip away while I look at the clock
But what have you done?
You’re one to talk
This was not my destiny, no
I doubt they even have popmen now though
A rusted van with broken windows
All out of business ‘cause of Asda and Tescos
I always fancied being a popman
(“What?”)
Like a milkman for pop
Delivering the flavours that you can’t get in the shop
(“Pop!”)
But I never wanted to be a milkman
No way
Despite the family ties
I can’t get excited about dairy supplies
A man
In a van
Bringing pop
To the people
