about

Richard, the Lord of Human Resources has summoned you into his lair wherein you will face him directly, only don’t make eye contact. He’s really cross. It’s all about to kick off, again. I mean you were caught on CCTV in the backroom of the warehouse, but that’s by-the-by. What’s his problem, no need to get so irate, right? Nothing a slice of folksome indie rock’n’roll won’t fix. ‘AV AT THEE RICHARD!

lyrics

So. You've been called to Richard's office
Richard's mad and he'll make you sorry
And Richard knows your rights
Despite your tears, he'll sleep tonight

We've all been there, once or more
Silently hope to be swallowed by the floor
While his suit goes tight in rage
You swear you'll leave but you need the pay

Yet if I had a penny for every time he'd thumped his chest
Or every time he'd banged upon his desk
I’d be looking at a goldmine
And I wouldn’t ever have to come back here, I guess
I could buy this place and shut it down
And say, “Hey Richard, how’d you like it now?”
And say, “Hey Richard, how’d you like it now?”

“Hey Richard.…”
“Hey Richard.…”
“Hey Richard.… How’d you like it?”
“Hey Richard.…”
“Hey Richard.…”
“Hey Richard.… How’d you like it?”

“I know full well that I am terrible at my job
And that my conduct of late can only be described as ‘wrong’
If I put half as much effort into doing things right
I could improve my life overnight”

Still, if I had a penny for every time he'd thumped his chest
Or every time he'd banged upon his desk
I’d be looking at a goldmine
And I wouldn’t ever have to come back here, I guess
I could buy this place and shut it down
And say, “Hey Richard, how’d you like it now?”
And say, “Hey Richard, how’d you like it now?”

You've been called to Richard's office
Richard's mad and he'll make you sorry

You've been called to Richard's office
Richard's mad and he'll make you sorry
