Help me - help me make my money back Help me - get me off the money rack Help me - put me off the rail track Help me - before I have a heart attack ... customs ... the inland revenue they name (?) it they claim it they take it all from you Help me - just given up smoking Help me - given up drinking Help me - do a lot of hoping (?) Help me - I'm having difficulty thinking ... customs ... the inland revenue they name it they claim it they take it all from you the VATman the taxman they'll make a fool of you they'll mark you they mock you (?) they'll break your heart in two don't hit me sitting on a time bomb ... Help me - feel a little sick now Help me - makes you wanna spit Help me - ... Help me - tell me it's a nightmare ... customs ... the inland revenue they name it they claim it they take it all from you the VATman the taxman they'll make a fool of you they'll mark you they mock you (?) they'll break your heart in two ... customs ... the inland revenue they name it they claim it they take it all from you the VATman the taxman they'll make a fool of you they'll mark you they mock you (?) they'll break your heart in two
Quotations and trivia
Gary Tibbs talked about a song he remembered as "The Vatman" in Guitar Heroes magazine from July 1983, also mentioning the musicians. An Andy Bown interview in an official Status Quo fan club magazine provides the real song's name and confirms Stewart Copeland's participation.
