lyrics

I wake up before the half six news
I break a sweat, then hit the snooze
I've got this一I'm the master of both worlds
On the tube, some people stare at me
"Is that...? I wonder. Could it be?"
It is! It’s me: the Master of Two Worlds

I'm a Master of the Fax Machine
I've mastered keeping my desk clean
I can multi-task and mostly get things right
And astride the photocopier
I copy something poppier
It's a flyer for my gig on Wednesday night

When the lights go up at the Black Sheep Bar in Croydon
That's me up there, The Master of Two Worlds

Thank you, Dave, a coffee does sound great
I guess I stayed up pretty late
But I think that presentation went okay
Now I've got some paperwork to do
Before I take this time in lieu
I'm out of here by four o'clock today

When the lights go up at the Boogaloo in Highgate
That's me up there, The Master of Two Worlds

Hello, sir, you wished to speak with me?
I could do much more for the company?
From lowly temp to permanent full-time?
Why, of course, a first year salary freeze
Yes, Mr. Mephistopheles
Now, where exactly is this dotted line?

When the lights go up at The Water Rats in Kings Cross
That's me up there, Master of Two Worlds
That's me up there
