Chip Off the Old Block

[Verse 1: Tom Bright]

Me and my old man

We don't see eye to eye

But we both like a pint

And we both like a pie

We both like fish 'n' chips

We both like fishin' trips

Still me and my old man

We don't see eye to eye

[Chorus: Tom Bright]

Chip off the old block

Cut from the same cloth

Chip off the old block

Everything that I'm not

[Verse 2: Ed Harcourt]

Son I'll never say

Why I had to go away

You'll find out in time

The fault was not all mine

Was in a shed at sixteen

It was either the army or machines

Had no choice in my day

So I chose a regimented way

[Chorus: Both]

Chip off the old block

Cut from the same cloth

Chip off the old block

Everything that I'm not

[Bridge: Tom Bright, Ed Harcourt]

Such a stiff upper lip

Sorry, I couldn't let it slip

We're like chalk and cheese

Aw, c'mon son please

There's no need to be proud

Do I have to think out loud?

You're the last of the old Englishmen

You're bloody and unbowed

[Chorus: Both]

Chip off the old block

Cut from the same cloth

Chip off the old block

Everything that I'm not

Chip off the old block

Cut from the same cloth

Chip off the old block

Everything that I'm not
