N.C.
There's an empty seat on the train today that makes its way up to the town
N.C.
There a letter found on an office desk that's finally handed round
N.C.
It says Julian Sidebottom William Smyth has finally come to his senses
N.C.
He's tired of commuting tired of computing tired of sitting on fences
He really ne eds some help he wants to fi nd himself
And he sa ys that money don't mat ter
And there's m ore to life than do ing what's right
He's going do wn do wn do wn Success's lad der
He's going do wn do wn do wn Success's lad der
He wan ts to do something for his children's children some thing to remember him b y
And no body wishes they spent more time at work when they fi nally lay down to di e
And he's dow nsized and analysed his last bottom line no lo nger will he be hard h earted
He's go ing to paint pictures of the Isle of Skye until the un dersigned is depa rted
He really ne eds some help he wants to fi nd himself
And he sa ys that money don't mat ter
And there's m ore to life than do ing what's right
He's going do wn do wn do wn Success's lad der
He's going do wn do wn d own Success's la dder
So the ye ars went by and Julian was forgot
and on e day his tea boy mad e it to the boss
And to br ighten his wall he hung pictures
sometimes on e of them the Isle of Skye strangely un signed
He really ne eds some help he wants to fi nd himself
And he sa ys that money don't mat ter
And there's m ore to life than do ing what's right
He's going do wn do wn d own Success's la dder
He's going do wn do wn d own Success's la dder
He's going do wn do wn d own Success's la dder
He's going do wn do wn d own Success's la dder
