Translation (English)
After he'd given us his spiel
about what was right
and what was wrong
about this and that
and the next thing
I say to the bloke
"and what is it you call
your job Jimmy?"
"I'm a Liaison Co-ordinator,"
he says. Oh good I say
a liaison co-ordinator
Just what this area needs
what with all the unemployment
and all the drinking
and the boys running amok
and the houses falling to bits
and the women on tranquillisers.
At last they've sent us
a Liaison Co-ordinator.
Somebody with a degree
in fuck knows what
getting paid for not knowing
what the fuck to do with it.
