The Post Office Queue Words and Music - Pete Morton
	'Cashier number 4 please' I'd like to send some money to Jamaica, for my sister and her little boy, been living down there in Kingston town, and we wish we could see them some more. She says she'll come over this Christmas, though I know she hates the rain and the frost, by the way I need to buy 27 second class stamps, could you tell me how much that'll cost? Oh I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. 'Cashier number 2 please' Hello me duck, how are ya! It's turning out nice again, I went to the doctor's this morning, and he told me to look after myself. There's not much respect for the old these days, so much as gone out the window. Anyway you just look after yourself, it was lovely to see you. Oh I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. 'Cashier number 7 please' Why can't I just have me money? You can tell that I need a drink, and my girlfriend she left me this morning, and I'm sleeping right here on this street. Everybody's gone shopping but me, and I feel like I'm caught in a snare. I'm out of my head on this drug we call life, with evidence of its pains everywhere. Oh I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. 'Cashier number 5 please' I'd like to send this box to Brighton, it's a present for a cousin of mine, she's looking after our old grandmother, we hope to see her one last time. Allah willing we'll all be together, though we do our best to keep in touch, oh I nearly forgot I'd better put it on the scales, and I hope it doesn't weigh too much. Oh I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. 'Cashier number 3 please' I've come for my family allowance, though there's never enough to go round. I'm pregnant again and I'm tired, excuse me I need to sit down. Well the other two are driving me mad, oh Sara come away from the door, and Jack if you don't come here this minute, you'll be early to bed that's for sure. Oh I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. 'Cashier number 13 please' That's me! What do you mean I've filled out the wrong form, and me MOT's out of date? But I've got to get to Ibstock-Under-the-Nose and I'm already running late. All of these letters and numbers, all on computers and shelves, that prove that I'm me, they make sure that I'm me, when I'm not even certain me self. Oh I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. Lyrics and music: ©2004 Pete Morton
