Cleaning Windows |

The “original” LP version… | |
And a “live” version… | |

When my son was young (pre-teen) and we were living in Liverpool, his mum and I used to ask him what he wanted to grow up to be. He always replied: “I want to clean windows.” We always assumed he’d grow out of this “job” answer, but he kept saying it for several years. | |
One day I asked him why he wanted to clean windows. He replied: “Because when you’re up on the ladder, you don’t have a boss constantly looking over your shoulder and watching you work and you get your money in hand after each house.” I asked him why that was important. He replied: “Because the tax man will never know how much you earned, so you can diddle him dead easy.“ | |
I used to chuckle about that conversation every time I heard this song. Nowadays, I think: “Someday my son could turn out to be a Republican candidate for the Presidency.“ | |
