The Divine Comedy – Office Politics lyrics

[Verse 1] Intern chokes on his gooseberry fool Consternation in the typing pool Press the flesh, do the deal Book your place on the hamster wheel See that PowerPoint presentation Worthy of a BAFTA nomination Zero hours, maximum pressure You know what they say about business and pleasure [Verse 2] Sir Hillary looks at them all and sighs Closes up the Venetian blinds He made his fortune on the horses Using the rules of market forces He’s got his eye on a chap named Knox Sell his granny for some high yield stocks Always thinks outside the box Always wears hilarious socks [Chorus] Office politics, office politics Office politics Office politics, office politics Office politics [Verse 3] Christine thinks of the Christmas party Martini after Martini William tried but there was no stopping her Taking a ride on the photocopier ‘Live for now, bugger the future!’ Thus spake Zara Brewster She put the snaps on her Facebook page And got sacked the following day [Chorus] Office politics, office politics Office politics Office politics, office politics Office politics [Verse 4] Sir Hillary sighs, recalls the days You could use your position to get your way Now put your hand where it shouldn’t be And soon you’ll be on indefinite leave No use now for the old school tie Only the greedy need apply Another intern chokes on his gooseberry fool Mild amusement in the typing pool [Chorus] Office politics, office politics Office politics Office politics, office politics Office politics [Outro] Office politics, office politics Office politics, office politics Office politics, office politics Office politics, office politics Office Explain Request ×
