GOLDWATCH BLUES

Donovan

I went up for my interview on the fourth day of July.

PERSONNEL man he questioned me until I nearly cried,

Made me fill in forms until I shook with fear

About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin's queer.

CHROUS:

Here's your goldwatch and the shackles for your chain

And your piece of paper to say you left here sane.

And if you've a son who wants a good career

Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty

years. CHORUS.

He asked me how many jobs I'd had before.

He nearly had a heart attack when I answered, four.

Four jobs in twenty years, oh, this can never be

We only take on men who work until they die. CHORUS.

He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line.

This is where we bury them in quick-stone and in lime

And if you come to work for us on this you must agree,

That if you're going to die please do it during tea BREAK. CHORUS.

This story that you heard you may think rather queer

But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear.

I did not want no job upon the board,

I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor.

CHORUS.

Donovan's version of this song is famous, but I believe that both he and Bert Jansch got it from Mick Softley.

This song is so true today as it was then a friend of mine who get his A levels with to uni and worked hard to get a first, he wanted to get a job so went to a supermarket the one with light brown uniforms. the question he was ask and the interviews he said was like being gird and in the end only job they would offer him was night work filling selves. So he went to Sandhust he said the interview was easier then the supermarket.

Donovan knows how to sum up society in his music and he does it so brilliantly,

i turn 16 in June, and this trumps almost all others songs for me. There's nothing like the soul of Eire put into Irish music

One of my all-time favourites of Donovan's. Always thought of it when I was cowed by interviewers and jobs beneath my capabilities, particularly office jobs.

Over 40 years ago (probably more like 45) my cousin bought the LP this was on and he and I played it again and again on a little pink portable record player that my sister had. I memorized it that day and have been singing it in my head (and out loud sometimes) ever since. Now that I'm nearing 60 and looking back a little, I appreciate it no less than that day I first heard it. Thanks for sharing.
