I look around and at the counter there's a little old dear
Standing there for ages trying to remember why she's here
Now she's got her purse out and she's counting out her change
And the cashier's looking at her like she's deranged

You see it all they say and all life is in here
And it's slowly driving me insane

And I'm stuck in the post office queue
I'm stuck in the post office queue
I could have been at home by now, watching Doctor Who
But instead I'm stuck here in this god damn queue

The staff all think that they are gods to whom we must all bow
When really they are nothing but a condescending cow
Their manners are atrocious and their service is a farce
You can take your envelopes and post them up your arse

They talk and laugh to each other for longer than a while
But their poor old customers aren't privy to a smile

And I'm stuck in the post office queue
I'm stuck in the post office queue
I could have been at home by now, making love to you
But instead I'm stuck here in this god damn queue

Then in comes some cheeky bloke who tries to jump the line
I tell him no you don't my friend I'm here on borrowed time
He looks at me with some contempt and goes off to the back
You've got to guard your position like a wolf guards his pack

Cashier number two please
Cashier number five please
And they're only calling out those
Cos the other 6 are closed

I've been here now for half an hour and patience wearing thin
It's stuffy and it's hard to tell a postbox from a bin
I only really came in here for a book of stamps
But now I've been in this queue so long I'm smelling like a tramp

I contemplated leaving, but now I'm too far gone
I'm not going anywhere except to cashier one

And now I'm next in the post office queue
I'm next in the post office queue
It's finally my turn once she's served that alcoholic
But I put my hand into my pocket and realise
I've forgotten my wallet
I've got go home
And do it all again tomorrow
